    I want you–a random individual–to go on stage, and tell the country that just elected Donald Trump to make cities walkable.

    Have a ball.

    DDIs are the best we have right now. At the very least, the conservative nutjobs in my city don’t detest them to hell… much. They can be scaled down, and single lane versions would be perfectly acceptable in a walkable city.
