Complicates access to businesses, especially hotels	\|	Expands restaurant capacity/earning potential.
“Our hotel staff has to lug guests’ baggage three blocks to their cars.”		“This extra capacity allows us to employ more people; servers, hostesses, kitchen staff. It’s good for the economy.”
Reduces drive-by awareness of businesses	\|	Reduces likelihood of vehicular accidents
“We’ve seen a real downturn in new business as a result for drivers not being able to see us anymore.”		“I can’t tell you how many times I was nearly run over on Ocean back before its closure.”
Reduces parking, worsening already difficult parking situation	\|	Avoids sound and exhaust pollution
“Parking in South Beach was a mess already.”		“It’s so nice and peaceful now.”
