A reminder that many of the beloved "urban ballparks" weren't urban because they were built in dense areas - they were urban because dense areas were allowed to grow up around them, unlike today when they're surrounded by parking lots. https://twitter.com/OTBaseballPhoto/status/1249712750072389633
What would downtown-proximate Dodger Stadium look like if we connected it to the subway and then let a dense urban neighborhood grow in its ocean of parking? (LA's sky-high housing costs would easily make a very high level of density financially viable) https://twitter.com/Hendyhendel/status/1249730652775333888

The other frustrating thing about it is that, as I understand it, deadbeat former Dodgers owner Frank McCourt still owns all the Dodger Stadium parking so a rezoning would represent a huge windfall for a huge scumbag
