^ If I am the ideologue, then why is there strong interest to put cars back on K street?
I would also like some evidence of K street going downhill after the street cars stopped operating, because this article states that the mall was a lively cruise spot up until 1969. I think your creating your facts again...

I am also willing to bet that the retailers strongly disagree with you about the success of a mall not catering to consumers such as soccer moms, etc. That is why their is success in Roseville Galleria, and not in DTP, easier to access with vehicles/cars.
