I'm not sure what you mean by that? Quinpool is a better street because most parking lots are behind the street facing development. It is much easier to approach Quinpool Centre than it is anything on Young street because of this. There are also wind factors... a narrow street of buildings is much better than huge swaths of parking lots out front and the winds that can whip across them. This is what the heritage crazies don't get and I'd take narrow street "wind tunnels" over this any day of the week... the wind can only come from one direction.
I'm actually very pro car, but I'm from the peninsula. I don't appreciate philistines from off peninsula running me down when I'm walking in my neighbourhood because they are in some apparent hurry. That's probably why they used to charge for parking at Quinpool Centre.
In any event, Quinpool Centre > Young Street > Bayers Lake, for both drivers and pedestrians.
