Imagine not having to walk to your parking spot or trying to find parking at your destination though. It will actually be _more convenient_ to carshare than to own private.
- Steltek 5y agoNah, we'll just mandate that every business provide 4 parking spots per expected customer instead /s. If people _need_ to drive somewhere, they will want their own car and they will demand that others cater to their choice. I still see making cars unnecessary and redundant as the key to healthier and economically resilient cities. If you can live a happy and full life without a car, it becomes a financial mistake to own one or to continue spending billions supporting their use.
- landemva 5y agoMany European cities are easy to live in without a car. I did it for years.
- Steltek 5y agoOnce you get past the acceptance of the premise, you'll find people objecting to adopting that lifestyle. For many Americans, the nearest city is not a desirable place to live so they don't know what they're missing. For the remainder that want to at least enable a car-free life, the best path forward is a matter of debate. Sadly what I think goes unrecognized is that the suburbs have forced their car-dependent lifestyle on cities for so long that trying to reverse all the bad history urban highways and transit defunding is exceptionally tough.
