"...many of the critical uses of streets have been partly or wholly removed from the urban streets designed by traffic engineers. Walking, biking, transit use, and public life often all but vanish when traffic engineers impose a narrow view of what a street should accomplish."

– Robert Steuteville, Better Cities and Towns, Dec 6, 2015

“...high-growth firms cluster in both urban centers and suburban areas that are dense, diverse, walkable, vibrant, and served by transit.

Simply put, it is the vibrancy of a neighborhood—not whether it’s urban or suburban—that attracts high-growth firms and helps bolster a high-growth regional economy."

When car ownership goes away - what happens to all that required parking?
