If you uproot an old failing oak without plans to plant something in its absence, you’ll be left with a big hole and no shade.

Edit: Maybe I’m agreeing with some of what was said and I’m misunderstood. Either way, I agree with understanding demand as it relates to a planned economy.

    This is a problem with some poorly executed pedestrianisation/walkable area conversions IMO.

    I like it since it means more car free spaces for me and my 🚲, but those without a bike aren't going to wait around a hour for a bus, they'll hop in their car and drive to an alternative location. They might not even be familiar with bike paths and routes to get there, especially if they're not comfortable riding on the road.

    When car-first infrastructure is ripped out, people need to be introduced to alternatives and the alternatives need to be attractive, otherwise the status-quo will shift elsewhere
