I'm sure they said the same things about planes and cars some 100 years ago.
- wrkronmiller 7y agoThey may not have been wrong about cars. Probably not planes either for people living near takeoff/landing flight paths...
- brobdingnagians 7y agoI lived under the flight paths near LAX for awhile. It was incessant and obvious, all the time. Aircraft engines are hard to ignore and they would rattle the windows (which were sound resistant). One of my goals in life is to never live somewhere like that again. It isn't bad until you live under a major one, then you realize it can be a constantly present annoyance.
- TheRealSteel 7y agoWhoever said it about cars was right.
- sushid 7y agoBetter than horses loitering around everywhere, right?
- TulliusCicero 7y agoCars are definitely much more common in cities now that horses were around, say, 1900. Most people just walked. Cars also seem to have exerted a much greater impact in terms of getting cities to design themselves primarily around themselves (probably because of that popularity).
