I suspect we can find a place for them outside of our most densely populated urban cores. The popularity of cars isn't in itself a scandal. The scandal is that cars still enjoy undue priority in places like Midtown Manhattan, it's that urban neighborhoods were destroyed and divided by interstate highways, it's that most cities no longer function properly for the carless.

- Sharlin 9y agoPersonal cars are already banned in the centers of many cities. Or if not forthright banned, heavy congestion tolls levied. As it should be. It's about your freedom to drive vs. my freedom to not suffer from the negative externalities your driving causes.
- dozzie 9y ago> it's that most cities no longer function properly for the carless I think the world outside USA would want a word with you about that "most cities" part.
- closeparen 9y agoYou can have high-throughout roads into cities, or hypergentrification in urban neighborhoods as people move closer to minimize transportation needs. The existing suburban masses are not going to vanish into thin air.
