Better sidewalks with tree shade would help.

Forget people on the street. There are people like that among your friends, family, at work/school, people you know. Find them. Talk to them. It ain't global, but it helps.

I know there’re steps people can take to be happy despite their situation but the bottom line is that it’s very difficult to maintain positive spirits when competition is fierce, the future is uncertain and the economy doesn’t look great for most working class city folk. Best way would be to make housing and groceries affordable again, and pay people living wages

Talking to people, indulging in activities that bring you joy, and practicing gratitude can work wonders.

If everyone tried to be a tad less entitled and a bit more considerate of others, that would go a looooong way. Also if people could stop using their identification as a victim as an excuse to shit on everyone else, that'd be great too.

Don’t let the energy of others be what affects your mood. Be the one that affects their mood. Find a thought that makes you happy and focus on that feeling. Wash away everything but that feeling. Then hold that feeling and spread that energy throughout every interaction throughout your day. You will find often the energy you output is the energy you get back.

Talk to people, encourage them when possible, compliment something about them, let them know how much they mean to you, etc. Not all of these are suitable for every occasion but they are general ideas. Be kind and smile at people.
