I guess that's the whole point, to discourage car usage.
On the other hand, as someone who doesn't own a car on purpose, to have the city where I live in being constantely polluted and invaded by so many cars has caused me great health and stress issues.
The idea that my children are risking illnesses because we are forced to breathe such toxic air from motorists makes me feels impotent and I wish it was just a matter of cognitive load for me, but instead I'm always worried about my kids' health and I realize they are growing up in spaces designed for Cars and not for people.
It almost feels like a dystopia to me, as kids all over the world are getting preventable illnesses thanks to car pollution and we live in concrete hellscapes.
- happymellon 4y agoI travelled in to London on Saturday. I don't live in London, but was able to take the Elizabeth Line from Reading to the Excel, in just over an hour for myself and my daughter for about £30 return. 24 hour parking was £10. I've been parking outside the zone and undergrounding it in for a long time, it's just now able to be further out than Hammersmith. I love it.
