The war on the car made downtown a less enjoyable place to live in recent years....i don't think there are enough 20 something hipsters on bikes in this city to keep making life difficult for the 90 some percent of us car commuters and not see an impact. i see a continued loss of anything resembling destination retail, replaced with even more coffee stores, revolving door of failed businesses catering to the 20 something hyper sensitive to all causes crowed who don't have the discretionary spending available after their 20 hour live/work balance lifestyle to spend on $20 mini jar of ethically sourced pickles, and Instagramy restaurants that are only opened evenings.

lol you are one of my favourite satirists.
