Bikes are cool!car parks need to be torn down or converted to semi-indoor agriculture
taxes are nice in theory but just get spent on cops (more on this later)
Corner shops are fine.
Denser zoning is good. Necessary. Important.
More sqft maybe, but that's only because we tend to jam more than one person per bedroom into apartments; a 1 BDRM would be lovely for most people.
But all their solutions are electoral, and if electoralism was going to solve problems without a literal gun to its metaphorical head, it would have at least fucking started by now. If it were going to do what the majority of people want, I would live in a very different country (single payer healthcare federally legal weed few/no barriers to abortion, at least). Instead its moving away from all that.
And proposing electoralist and government solutions is just complete bullshit. Its like actively harming a cause, I'd rather you be a screaming gammon shouting that I'm gonna go to hell for wanting a grocery store I can walk to; I genuinely think that would be more helpful.
