No role by the 4-5 lanes. Traffic does not blast through my neighborhood. They more or less do the speed limit on the border of my neighborhood as speeding will hit red lights. It does not affect livability (it's a +) or affordability. Our walking score is 87. Higher than most areas. Our homes are steadily increasing in value. How could anyone know whether out of town absentee landlords exist in any neighborhood. However, I am a landlord of the house next door. So, I'd say no. The drug users/dealers are city wide. From west hamilton to east hamilton. This affects more families/businesses than any transportation issues IMO. I am very pleased with the progress of main/king businesses in the last 5 years. To believe the tipping point has to do with the direction of traffic or more sidewalk space (for businesses to put out trifold signs - explore James North!) is inaccurate. These are arterial roads. I 100% support bike lanes, wider sidewalks and bike lanes everywhere but main/king, our life line of the city. - A person that lives east of downtown.
