> car-friendly is directly at odds with anything that would actually improve the city this is because our solutions to car-friendly cities usually mean tearing down neighbourhoods, more pollution etc. there are solutions that please both sides of the table, but they usually involve huge costs. and in the current climate of litigating everything combined with political polarisation and the very nature of democracy, they're usually a non-starter.

> There are solutions that please both sides of the table I'd love to hear about some of these. As someone who sits firmly on one side of the table (live in central London, don't own a car etc.) my default position is to reject anything which encourages the use of private motor vehicles in the city, so I definitely think I should try to hear the other side!
