      Improving transport -> larger firms; evidence from Boston streetcar electrification 1885-1905 & mom-n-pop stores http://econweb.ucsd.edu/~wyou/pdfs/WeiYouJMP.pdf …

      I want "streetcars" (trams). Is there evidence that they are better? Seems obvious

      hmm, very skeptical of a connection between streetcars and decline of small firms--looking at Japan as example

      spatial data they show is p strong though. Small business not necessarily a good thing anyway (imo)

      think the data says more about Boston--tiny firms and shops proliferate in Japanese cities despite far better transportation

      small businesses can't do everything, sure, but they're usually where large businesses come from...

      in any case streetcars can be useful (or useless) depending on how they're built, esp re: dedicated right-of-way

          I like them because they're easily consistent with pedestrians and nice cobbled streets, but I realise that's stupid

          not at all; aesthetic choices matter too--can be reconciled with good transportation

          a streetcar in mixed traffic is just a less-maneuverable bus

          but buses are scary whereas trams aren't. Idk exactly why, but it's a strong intuition
