Not defending the post you reply to, but while well planned communities can require close to car free, the modern life is such that people are aware of - and cars enable easy access to - the greater world much more so than otherwise.
They want to see sights 90 minutes drive away. 3 hours drive away. And be home again that night.
I support "local living without cars as much as possible", but I think cars are here to stay for most of us.
- adrianN 6y agoPeople driving to see sights is really not the issue with cars that we have.
- alistairSH 6y agoNowhere did I ever claim people shouldn’t have access to cars. I own a car. My wife owns a car. I drive 12k miles/year doing just what you described - day trips or weekend trips. But, I have the option to leave the car parked most of the week and it amazes me that more communities aren’t planned similarly.
