As a driver I see the areas being sectioned off as stress inducing. I haven't lived in a city very long but I see a lot of short sighted ideas in this post. Parking is a concern, a place without parking is inaccessible to people from other areas. Plenty of the examples make turning impossible even for small sedans, let alone full sized vehicles. A fun concept that hits a bit too close to home for me right now. City planning like this has kept me from exploring my own downtown area.

- stbtrax 13y agoParking is a huge subsidy for people that drive. It's basically giving away public land to motorists, land that could be used for much better purposes. If you're living in a city and parking is a major concern, perhaps the suburbs are more suited for you. More stress inducing than having to drive in narrow areas, is having to walk around in cities with motorists constantly on their phones, almost running you down in the street, and not facing any repercussions[1] I wish there were more car-free areas in the US like in a lot of metro areas in Europe. 1. http://cironline.org/reports/bay-area-drivers-who-kill-pedestrians-rarely-face-punishment-analysis-finds-4420 http://cironline.org/reports/bay-area-drivers-who-kill-pedes...
