Living in city centers with little space to spend time outside and a lot of space for cars is not ideal. However, the elimination of roads for cars to drive on is also usually not ideal. Superblocks, as Amanda Shendruk for the Washington Post illustrates, is an urban planning compromise that gives way to pedestrians in the center and cars around the perimeter.

There is no actual, tangible reason why we allow people to starve, to be homeless, to suffer and die needlessly. Food is plentiful. Empty homes are plentiful. Medicine is plentiful. It’s hidden away behind constructs and we pretend those constructs mean something. There is an empty home and a homeless family, give them it. There is a sick child and common medicine to treat it, give it to them. There is a starving person and so much food wasted by corporations or hidden behind a dollar sign, feed them.
