Q:  Kiss, marry, kill: bike lanes, LRT expansion or multiplex infill?
BROOKLYN
HOLLINGER
Writer of “Delivering
Comfort,” p. 18
Kiss bike lanes: even my
beat-up hatchback wants
that extra space for the
two-wheelers. Marry LRT
expansion: I dream of one
day taking a continuous ride
from my south side home
to the far north end. Kill
multiplex infill: too complex
and polarizing.
CHRISTINA FRANGOU
Writer of “Lost Ones,” p. 65
Kiss multiplex infill: some are gorgeous, and they mean more people
can live centrally without being boxed into multi-family residences.
Automatically marry bike lanes: I’m obsessed. Kill LRT expansion: feels
harsh, and it doesn’t reflect my true feelings, but so goes the process
of elimination.
JORDON HON
Photographer of
“Soy Delicious,” p. 21
Kiss bike lanes: I don’t own a
bike anymore so this one feels
like a romantic fantasy for me.
Marry LRT expansion: I’d love
to one day get down to a one-
car household by taking the
train anywhere in the city. Kill
multiplex infill — or rather, kill
the conversation: more units
mean more property taxes
from the same lot. Density
over building more outwards.
Debate over!
