All of which are densely populated cities.
This concept simply doesn't work in majority of America, where the average city is sparsely populated and quite spread out.
People living in Seattle, San Francisco, New York, Portland, Austin, Los Angeles, etc... quickly forget what life is like in say... Fiddletown, California.
- pwinnski 7y agoYes, a city that bans cars would necessarily need to become a densely-populated city, for sure.
- magduf 7y agoIf Fiddletown, California were forced to pay for its own road construction and upkeep, instead of getting free money from the state or federal government, they'd have to massively raise their taxes, and the town would become a ghost town as people moved to the large cities that have lower per-capita infrastructure costs.
