We do a good-to-great job with public spaces, like parks, plazas, rec centres, libraries, trails, footbridges & public attractions like Fort Edmonton & TWOS.
Patios aren't public areas. They're private businesses subject to market forces, those same market forces you choose to ignore every time you go on a rant about how patios close too early for your tastes.
My wife adores Edmonton's balance between public & private spaces, far more than her native Sweden (except for the lack of
Allemansrätten, but that's a major cultural difference.)
