Why do so many civic visions don’t get traction with people? The ones that fail do everything for everyone. Those that work are clear and require change from many status quo’s. Probably why San Antonio feels a city without vision now compared to 2010s “Decade of Downtown.”

Ownership almost always increases performance, for sure. That said, this isn't exactly my area of expertise but this is my area of interest (I'm trying to get a Congressman to sponsor my e-commerce law). I think broad goals like that are nice but less effective than a narrow
proposal that moves you in the direction of the goal. Still haven't visited San Antonio, but from what little i know, I'd go with: 1. Soda Tax (if you can get it through, good luck...) 2. Reduce parking requirements 3. More separated bikelanes
