    Im curious what downtowns used to look like. Even in the 70s, downtowns were filled with big box stores like Macy’s. But also, downtown was crazy dangerous. Then around the 90s, things got safer.

    So I am curious - what does a modern downtown supposed to look like?

      Look at the Netherlands for how it should work (or go further back to before the 1920s and the rise of the car in the US).
