EDITOR'S NOTE: Today, we are honored to be making a full urban main streets presentation to Homestead Main Street, a nonprofit aimed at revitalizing historic Krome Avenue
MAIN STREET DIDN’T BECOME OBSOLETE
But it was nearly killed by a half century of bad urban policy that...
• Made walking impossible and driving essential
• Subsidized highways while starving street cars to death
• Encouraged sprawl and discouraged compact urban villages
• Turned healthy farmland into seas of asphalt with soulless shopping centers
• Made it impossible to walk to: Work, shops, parks, doctors, libraries and the arts.
