Unregulated free-for-all is kind of what we have, though, in NYC at least. People double-park with impunity, drivers leave cars on sidewalks, and the worst offenders are the NYPD, the very people who are supposed to enforce these regulations.
We could trade subsidized parking for…
- bus and bike lanes
- garbage bins (the trash situation here is just humiliating)
- inducement for the city and state to fix the subways
- cleaner air
- loading zones for shops and deliveries (Fedex and UPS have a crazy deal with the city for near-immunity from traffic fines)
Yeah, I know, I'm dreaming, but I just don't see how the status quo is sustainable. Electric cars won't solve most of these problems.
