You make a prescription without explaining why. Regulating scooters or bike traffic has external effects on those who use scooters or bikes (a huge fraction in the Netherlands of road users), why not target the source if you know the source?
- helen___keller 5y agoI didn’t prescribe a specific regulation, in fact, I simply said that the issue is the externalities not the source, so that’s where energy should be focused. I think it’s naive to assume banning the storefronts fixes the externality. The real source is people wanting delivery. What if we don’t fix the courier traffic because everyone moves from dark storefront delivery to UberEat style apps that order shopping+delivery from non-dark storefronts? Or what if apps form deals with local stores to make hybrid in person / delivery storefronts, giving us the same externalities but non-dark storefronts?
