>>Many people will own cars, but not nearly as many as now.
This is a meaningless prediction without context or specificity provided by the author. The author is saying that cars will be owned by .6% of the population (current horse ownership is aprox 2 million) in her lifetime. "Many" but "less than now" could mean that we go 263.6 to 240 and meet your criteria wall falling miles short of what this insane article is positing.
No. As countless responses have pointed out, the amount of infrastructural challenges for non-urban hubs is staggering. We already have buses and cabs, and we even have "smart" buses and cabs with APPS and there still isn't a way that you can expect rural Alabama or Suburban Wisconsin to be able to deal with this non-car type existence.
- apendleton 8y agoThis is getting pointless quibble-y, but they said "not nearly as many as now" not "less than now." 263.6 is nearly as many as 240 by any sensible definition; I took them to be suggesting a significant decrease for some common-sense definition of "significant."
