It seems to me encouraging pedestrians makes things more social. Everyone driving in their own car seems a lot less social to me. Can you elaborate on why this is anti social?
- grezql 8y agofriends and families are discouraged when they realize they cannot drive home to me and park here. Instead they must spend 1 hour on train. This in turn increases isolation of people.
- tecleandor 8y agoDuring most of the day, driving to the center of Madrid is way, way slower than taking the train. The city is quite antisocial right now, full of people incapable of moving around the city due to a huge stream of cars occupying most of the space in the streets, but barely moving.
- KirinDave 8y agoWas the car faster? Is taking the train actually difficult? I live in the US, in a state famous for requiring a car. I genuinely miss when I could take the train to work, and my family visits me less now that they have to drive into the city rather than park at a train terminal and ride transit in.
