I say we wait until someone demonstrate area working which totally bans all types of vehicles. Only allowing ambulances and firetrucks. Absolutely nothing else, no vans, no taxis(or ridesharing). Maybe provide wheelchairs for those that need.
Keep this going at least for 10 years and see how much the people will enjoy it.
- lionkor 3y agoIn switzerland there are towns like Zermatt, Saas-Fee, Wengen and Mürren that are car-free.
- abdullahkhalids 3y agoWhat a ridiculous straw-man extreme argument. When people say "car-free" they do not mean 0 cars. They mean a city where the incentive structure has been changed so driving cars is expensive and annoying, while walking or transit is easy and simple. But in such a "car-free" city, there should/can be * emergency vehicles * other essential government vehicles like post office, garbage, etc. * commercial delivery vehicles (dozens per 1000) * taxi services (dozens per 1000) * personal vehicles for those with disabilities * personal vehicles for those who are willing to pay a lot of money+time for them (hopefully not many dozens per 1000). You are thinking that the terminal goal is no cars. But the terminal goal is to live on Earth in a sustainable fashion so we don't destroy the only habitable ecosystem for humans. Fewer cars is a secondary goal in service of this very reasonable requirement.
