I'm trying to point out that CHA planners in recent years have had good intentions when it comes to the street grid - when they are in charge, we get something like ParkSide. But they don't control the cops, schools, or parks and those agencies' misguided ideas about urban planning.

No, I get it; I'm just thinking it's a shame the cops/schools/parks have been able to exert undue influence, especially considering these opportunities will not present themselves again.
