    I like my towns version of this, a legit throwback to the 1960s.

    • We have a nice walkable “Main Street” of shops and restaurants, and have been trying to permanently pedestrianize.
    • we have transit oriented development. Downtown is now zoned for up to six story apartment blocks, with only one parking spot per unit, and yes, this area also includes a multimodal train station
    • public parking, including two garages, are behind everything, in a back alley, where they don’t impact people as much, and very few shops and restaurants have their own parking
