Guys...we gotta narrow our streets
lol @ thinking the space currently covered in excess asphalt constitutes public wealth and not public liability--this is more like creating wealth out of nowhere than moving it from one holder to another

so it's valuable, but it's also not valuable
-
It's not valuable as pavement. It could be valuable as buildable land. I'm not committed to passing it to existing fronting landowners, they are just the most convenient designee for a 5-tweet concept pitch
-
why does it have to be privatized
-
the reason I said "whatever's clever" earlier is because I'm not committed to any particular way of distributing the newly-available land
-
One approach I've considered would be to pass it off to the *occupants* of fronting property, which may or may not be the owners
-
But I wanted to keep the twitter thread focused on the street aspect; if I got too detailed about the land transfer it would dominate the convo (and I just haven't given that part enough thought to sustain a good convo on it!)

what if instead of pulling off the sides we pull from the middle and put some rail down
