You should, you should - and look! He did. Yes, it's brought the painting to life. I'm having a similar dilemma - I don't actually LIKE painting figures, leaving aside even whether I'm any good at it or not (why? Antisocial? Introverted? Don't know!) and I have a painting now which I think probably does need a figure or two, but it'd be an afterthought, that's the trouble - where to put them? To put them in at all? When does a landscape become a genre painting? When you put in figures (or at least, that's the risk). I am havering - might post it as a WIP to see what you all think.... I do say "might".
PS - I rather liked lockdown.... not least because I haven't had a cold for nearly two years, having avoided people. I fear I might be giving too much away about my personality here: anyway, this, tragically, isn't all about ME, so returning for a second bite at the painting: I think your figures fit the treatment you've given the scene - they're all looking at us, in a welcoming way; they're colourful, as are your buildings - I think this works.
