Neighborhoods like the Mission, the Tenderloin, SoMa and Chinatown are dense and vibrant. Households have low car ownership and high transit usage. But many residents are working class, often immigrant. They’re not the “right” type of urban dweller for many fans of urbanism.
So instead being urban archetypes, most urbanists focus on European models of urbanism. They point to the Netherlands, Germany, etc. Whenever places like the TL are mentioned, the focus is on the negatives, on how they’re doing urbanism wrong.
It’s super cringe.
