    We should already have mixed used spaces instead of the nightmare of “homes over there, fun over there, work over there”

      We did. If you look at aerial photos of American cities, they were built mixed use until the early 1900s. Between 1900 and 1970 you can watch as those mixed use buildings got demolished, and 75% of our city spaces got paved into parking lots. The song was serious. They paved paradise, and put up a parking lot.

      The oil and auto companies enslaved the entire country.
