>parklets opened on Valencia for outdoor dining and people loved them!

Patrons of specific dining establishments sure, but they objectively inhibit transportation even more than parking spots do. This is painfully straightforward. Optimizing for wealthy people that frequently dine out is a expert way to undermine the collective interests of people who actually live in the city and those neighborhoods. Gentrification 101.




Just curious, are you saying wealthy people _don't_ live in the city and those neighborhoods? Specifically around Valencia?
