I didn't read it as saying car free living was illegal, rather that city planning laws make it impossible to achieve in practice. But it is a bit ambiguously phrased.
- benj111 7y ago"we need to also legalize car-free living" That suggests to me that it's currently not legal, and as I don't know where they live, there could be a law applying to this.
- epistasis 7y agoIf you read a few more words I hope it becomes more clear: > allow mixed use density and transit, and most cities do not allow that to be built anywhere. It is illegal to build for car-free living in the vast majority of our land. So much is that in some of the places where it exists today, it would be illegal to build now because the building styles were made illegal over the last century. Car dependency is built into our laws and our built infrastructure, and that codified life style does not fit the desires of future generations, not their environmental needs.
