Their whole spiel about mixed-use development leaves out one key thing. The majority of the people that live in single-family home areas don't want to live in these mixed use areas. They exist as an option in any area dense enough to even consider it. The vast majority of them, even the nicer ones, are insanely expensive, flooded with leftists, don't allow you space to have anything useful like a workshop, the streets are full of aggressive homeless people that harass the shit out of you, etc. I could go out in my suburban neighborhood and walk around right now at night with no issues. I wouldn't dare in one of the leftist mixed-use nonsense areas without a gun.

They could improve public transportation without all their mixed use crap. They could start with not making them gross rolling homeless shelters. Get rid of the masks too. I used to live near a train and I'd ride it downtown on occasion to go eat or something. Now the first reason I would avoid is mask gestapo.
