>more wear and tear on roads.
Listen, I hate the electric hummer and Chevy 2500s as much as the next guy but talking point needs to be taken out back and shot. The wear and tear light vehicles put on the road is a rounding error on any road that sees commercial traffic
>Many cities are objectively worse now than 15-20 years ago,
This is just pure lying. The "fleet" is much cleaner than it was 15-20yr ago for a variety of reasons. Cities are much safer and richer.
>This needs top down regulation,
Top down regulation is what gave us LA. People in general can't be trusted to centrally plan and the people who think they can solve the world's ills with central planning are the least trustworthy. We need to "regress" to pre-1940s urban development patterns.
- ghaff 4y ago>Cities are much safer and richer. Speaking generally, rather than specifically in the context of cars, most big US cities were worse on pretty much every axis (other than cost) in 1990 than they are today. I suspect most people who object to the, say, Disneyfication of Times Square weren't there at night 30 years ago. Cities were in general significantly more dangerous and grittier than they are today.
