Also, there wouldn't be many lunch options because delivery services wouldn't be able to use cars and trucks.

No food delivery in New York uses cars and trucks. They all use ebikes. (Which were illegal for years, but that stopped nobody from using them.)

  How do the ingredients get to the restaurant for preparation?

    There are probably different rules for wholesale or commercial deliveries.

    During special hours of the night when delivery trucks are allowed to use the street.

And all the restaurants would have to be on the outside of the city to get their deliveries.

Excellent. This would contribute to health. You want something. Walk to get it.

    maybe just speak for yourself? the seniors i know walk more than the juniors i know. senior folks will happily share their opinions with you, so no need to speak for them.

      Your comment is interesting because it hadn't even occurred to me that the parent comment might be being sarcastic. I thought the emphasis on love was being serious. My experience is older folks (maybe 80 and up? Not really sure) start to lose confidence or ability with driving and give it up. Hence need to walk and take public transport. So less cars and a more walkable neighborhood is a win for them as well as everybody else :-)

        I'm only 62 and I hate driving. If I can walk or bike where I'm going, that's my preference by far, modulo whatever the weather is doing. Unfortunately where I live the public transportation is awful, so I end up driving more than I would prefer.

        It was sarcastic because many seniors can't walk long distances. The idea that if they want something they "walk to get it" is ridiculous. The missing component is that when you ban cars, you have to have good public transit to replace them, especially for the elderly and disabled.

Which is why there's no restaurants in Venice.

  It's going to be tough to retrofit canals into all major cities.

So restaurants, bars, and taverns didn't exist until after the automobile was invented. Got it!
