Block parties are a good idea but people forget those older guys were the same ones who fought against having sidewalks put in back in the 90s because they didnt want "the city telling them what to do with their street." You cant complain about nobody walking around when you voted against making it easier to walk places. The real shift isnt just about knowing names, its about how we designed the whole street system to move cars fast instead of having people stop and talk. El Modelo is actually one of the few places left where you can still accidentally have a conversation while waiting for tortillas. That doesnt happen in a drive thru.
