I would say that in a "real" downtown area, you're not supposed to use a car at all. Not having to allocate land for parking essentially allows businesses to be clustered closer together and be more accessible to everyone, without everyone having to own their own car to get anywhere.
To quote Jane Jacobs:
> The point of cities is multiplicity of choice. It is impossible to take advantage of multiplicity of choice without being able to get around easily.
- tracker1 8y agoI don't quite get why a nearby parking lot and a relatively short track trolley isn't a more common thing.
- elvinyung 8y agoWell, I think what you're describing is essentially good public transit. Anecdotally, I know that in Toronto some people park their car on the outskirts, and then take transit down to the core.
