Ah, "you could move to Greece." Practical suggestion for improving the life of the average Atlanta resident!
- lazyjones 8y agoMore practical than changing Atlanta to some imaginary car-free utopia. But perhaps the advantages of living in a car-free city aren't that great after all?

- lazyjones 8y agoThe point is: for some reason these cities don't suddenly become so liveable that they're a huge success, neither economically nor as a destination for tourism or retirement. Perhaps those who have discovered their love for this fantasy haven't really thought about all the consequences.
- ak217 8y agoAtlanta is already changing to a "car-free utopia" that you're dismissing. Many neighborhoods around Midtown, Inman Park, and several MARTA stations are both more walkable and in enormously higher demand than 20 years ago.
