Meh.
There's no reason for car free. Cars are a very useful tool.
The problem is being a slave to the tool. Every promoter of alternative designs assumes we need to destroy almost every car.
Good luck.
- aqme28 3y ago> Every promoter of alternative designs assumes we need to destroy almost every car. I have never seen anyone promote this, and I run in a very heavy "fuck cars" circle. I have, however, seen a lot of people think that we promote this, and I don't know why. Example: someone proposes a new bike lane. Pushback will invariably come in the form of “how are people who can’t bike supposed to use this?” But they can still drive, all we’ve done is add an option.
- meepmorp 3y agoBecause cars have been at the center of US (at least) urban plan planning for decades, and when you stop privileging one thing vs others, sometimes people perceive that as an attack on the no-longer-privileged thing. This same situation happens with more than just cars.
