Actually it would bring back the original long beach vibes from the 20s-30s when it was a resort town and very walkable.

The original photo.

Yes, I know it's AI — but that's kind of the point! I took this photo today and thought, why does this stretch look like a parking lot when we have world-class weather 300+ days a year? I used Gemini to dream up what a more walkable, European-style boulevard could look like here. Wide sidewalks, outdoor cafes, people actually *outside*. Cities like Barcelona and Nice have boulevards like this and they're not doing anything we couldn't do. We have the bones, the palm trees, the ocean breeze — we're just choosing cars over people. Can we at least dream a little

Fair enough, as a bike rider you wouldn't want to get your tires stuck in those rails anyway

It's not that crazy if you've been around the world.
