Yes there are bad things too. I contend the bad things about car societies are worse. Not everyone can afford to not live in walking distance... we probably can't even afford it.

We'll all be happier and healthier and have more money for other stuff if we build our cities around walking, biking, and shared transit. Suburbs = unhealthy, inefficient, unhappy (it has been studied - look it up don't just comme

The fee is getting paid somehow - either by you up front, as a subscription, or for "free" built into the cost of the item.

It took us a generation to F up cities, it will take another to make great ones. It all starts with steps like this.
