Tbh, a lot of the suck comes from zoning codes and car centric design. Here, watch this kickflip: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJp5q-R0lZ0_FCUbeVWK6OGLN69ehUTVa

The cool thing is that, unlike economic systems, zoning codes are actually pretty easy to change. Your city council is in charge of that, and consistent, specific, and deliberate political pressure can still produce results at the local level. Right now, the only people showing up are the NIMBYs. We need people like you who want better cities to show up and demand them.
