As opposed to the not-ecological disaster of ICE cars?
The perfect is the enemy of the good: as long as we're stuck with cars (at least in short- or medium-term), let's perhaps consider the less sucky option.
- AstralStorm 3y agoThe perfect would be investing in a high end rail network, city rail and then light and medium EV. You're not really stuck with cars in any term. Both redesigning cities and building transport is a multi year programme. The HEV will prevent the perfect solution, in the opposite of the parable.

So for the existing housing stock, we'll just evict people from the low-density ex/suburbs, bulldoze entire neighbourhoods, and rebuild them at higher density? I'm all for building new in a better way, but there's a lot of legacy out there.
