This is from 8 years ago though.

She's done a great job since then. She's still the mayor and continuing her efforts.

    What fucks me off is all the history that has been destroyed for cars.

    What really grinds my gears, is whenever it snows, and it is really easy to tell the cars aren’t even being used most days.

    Our public space is apparently just a place for some people to store their personal belongings.

    Makes me want to just put a freezer in a vacant parking spot and leave it there.

    Meanwhile a battle royale between cargobike owners about parking unfolds in backyards, at schools and shops.

    But i aint never seen car spots designated for cargobikes although three families could benefit from just one car space.

    I went there recently, there is still quite a lot or cars and some awful streets.

    But it's at least one million times better than I remember 15ish years ago - so many more tranquil and usable streets, and even where there are still cars there's less of them making it quieter and easier to cross streets. Many parts of the centre seem quite a bit more chilled out now - there used to be an air of stress and aggro - probably mostly the car infestation their honking mating calls.
