Upside down

Balancing Charlotte's dreams with reality

The plan does need a strong dose of the little things that create a livable city: bike lanes, better sidewalks, a family-friendly focus, a parking strategy, retail rules to create shop fronts instead of interior malls and linked greenways and parks. 

But it can't neglect that vision thing.

Indeed, major infrastructure is needed. But the vision thing is also actually the "little things that create a livable city." Though I sure am glad that the argument against city comforts, though obviously I disagree strongly, is put so directly as the issue can be discussed openly.
