This is what #JaneJacobs called Eyes on the Street.
Incidentally, it’s why Dallas should support a wider range of activities at West End Station. The more people use the station area—for any purpose—the safer it will feel.

In the city people can experience "the unique urban pleasure of being alone together: part of a crowd but doing their own thing." I call it "private in public" and value it very much.

Last month, I got to lead a #JanesWalk in downtown #Milwaukee! #JaneJacobs was an #activist, an #urbanist, and she believed that cities are for people and should be built with people in mind. To that end, Jane's Walks are citizen-led walks, to connect people with one another and with their city!

Human progress is based on intercity trade and expanded production capability. US cities died last century. Corporate ownership and taxes paying for infrastructure support the existing system that can only collapse. There is no way to vote out of this predicament. Find joy where you can. #JaneJacobs
