@ajsadauskas @fuck_cars there aren't a lot of studies on this topic and business owner tend to go on vibes.

I think the message should be 'you can build wealth or throughput, pick one, you can't do both'.
This is from StrongTowns (which I don't think they are on Mastodon but they're on YouTube).

@ajsadauskas @fuck_cars not that business leaders respond to reports but MasterCard did a study in NYC on pedestrianised streets is sales over ones that weren't. Guess which ones made more $$%%?
I can find the article if u want it.

@usrtrv 100% we're down to less than half of what it was when we moved in an (less than 2 yrs ago) and hoping by next year the only grass left will be around the stepping stones to the (native) flower beds.

@badbrainstorm @usrtrv 100% add lawncare to that list. I have a new theory that lawn equipment ruins every nice day. In 10 to 20 yrs all of it will be electric. I already own all electric and have had it for 5 yrs and that all that Costco and most of the big box stores feature anymore.
In my state they are also giving out rebates for both professional and residental upgrades.
