Yeah. not so sure that having 23rd + union as the only practical pot stop in E/SE Seattle is a great outcome. The neighborhood probably hasn't reached the critical mass of investment/income from residents to support a wide/r range of 'conventional' businesses. Lake City isn't a model that should be copied
Seems like 1,000 feet isn't that huge a distance, even as a radius. Feels like there should be more options that are 1,000 feet from any parks or schools. An average city block is about 500 feet.
