    Also as a business owner, I have more success with bike traffic and foot traffic then with people in cars. Theses business owners are so fucking dumb.

      most business owners seem to be maybe good at actually doing the job, but just barely scraping by in terms of running the business

      it’s like how anyone with experience says you should never open a restaurant, then you look at how restaurants are run and yeah no shit it doesn’t work when people don’t realize you have to 1) make food people want to buy, 2) make food that people can afford to buy, and 3) keep your business to a scale where you can actually make a profit.
      Like my god, stop opening big restaurants, just run a food truck or something and accept that you’re not getting michelin stars.

      It always happens when a street is made pedestrian-only: the argument that it will reduce sales for small local businesses. I fail to understand how seeing cars drive past your shop is better for sales than people walking around your shop.

        I don’t know about everyone else, but I actively avoid shops that are next to any kind of multilane road.
