"The BIDs - it's nice to have clean sidewalks, and that's nice, but I hardly think they are instrumental in building community."

BIDs do a lot more than cleaning sidewalks. Actually, there are plenty of community building projects that BIDs are involved in, such as lunch-time concert series at the metro stations, coordinating farmers markets, summer movie nights, hosting arts and culture festivals in their respective areas, hosting community public safety meetings, etc, youth outreach, doing walking tours, partnering with other organizations like the American Planning Association to envision public spaces and parks in their respective areas, etc.
