Sidewalk is going to redevelop a mostly abandoned and inaccessible plot of land (half of it is a parking lot) to experiment with building better cities. Worst case the project fails and you end up with a bunch of new small apartments great for students, singles, and people who just don’t care about space.
What’s the concern exactly?
Who are cities for, and who gets to decide how they grow? Sidewalk Labs hopes the answer is technology companies.
What an idiotic take. It is always citizens who choose how a city develops. Somebody has to live there, and work there. If people don’t like it, the owner will go bankrupt.
