Filmore
Street, San Francisco, Ca. is a vital retail and small
office commercial area with a dense residential area
all around it. Small grocery stores and coffee shops
abound. Note the public transit system's electric cables
overhead that facilitate pollution free transit. A street
most other streets aspire to emulate.

Note
that the building infrastructure in Lockhart, a small
Texas town, like in the photo above, exists to house
small retail activities as when these buildings were
constructed in the early 1900s. But in Lockhart, as
in most Texas towns, large and small, the downtowns
are being abandoned in favor of strip development made
popular by overuse of the private automobile. |
