To be fair, there's probably an efficient frontier problem in pedestrianizing neighborhoods. If you closed off the entirety of Manhattan to cars, it would probably destroy Manhattan, but if you closed off specific areas such that people could still move themselves and goods around the city, it would be much improved.
- bobthepanda 6y agoMost of Manhattan’s daytime population don’t get in by cars, so making it less car friendly is in the realm of possibility. Really, south of Central Park, the parking rates alone are so expensive I wouldn’t bother driving in. Monthly rates in a garage are easily $300-500.
- lazerpants 6y agoThat's pretty reasonable! I'm in Brooklyn and the garage by me is $500/month. Which is part of why I don't own a car.
