Paved with Privilege: Slow Streets and the Suburbanization of San Francisco

However, while acknowledging these positives, one should always be encouraged to question the City’s motives regarding regulations and policies, especially those tailored to specific demographics.

Great Highway Closure Sparks Opposition From Residents

Many residents of the Mission were drawn to the idea of more public space and pointed to the fact that they would occasionally benefit from the closure of the Highway.

People Limiting Interactions with Others Leads to Widespread Consequences

Interacting with others online eliminates many human elements of socialization, such as a voice, face or physical proximity.
