There are also disabled and elderly people. Try walking and cycling to get your groceries with multiple sclerosis or a couple bad hips. Cars are awesome.

- walleeee 3y agoThat's where the rest of us come in. I for one would much sooner take a grocery delivery job if it's a critical service for the elderly and disabled rather than midnight pizzas for potheads. The idea that a car is the only lifeline for people with physical disabilities bespeaks broader social ills.

- rcMgD2BwE72F 3y agoElectric scooters (with seats if need be) are good enough. Moving a ton of metal for errands in city is insane.
- codedokode 3y agoWhat if you live in US but your health doesn't allow you to drive a car?
- nerdjon 3y agoThat is where exceptions come into play. Yes people with disabilities (which could include elderly people) will need a different form of transportation. But exceptions to allow those that need it to drive or other services (like grocery delivery) can take care of that while still allowing for a pedestrian focused city. There is also the fact that if a city is properly designed ideally you may only need to walk a couple blocks for groceries and your basic needs, and instead of doing big shopping you buy just a few things at a time.

- scatters 3y agoTry driving to get your groceries with epilepsy or a vision impairment.
- adrianN 3y agoIf you're physically unfit for an electric tricycle (or even a scooter without pedals...), I kinda don't want you drive a 2t+ vehicle at 50km/h or more.
