Cars are one solution to the mobility problem. But not the only one, and at rush hour, probably not the best one.

If you live out in the country, sure. But the article is about urban planning. Different thing entirely.

For your very own “They Live” moment, reread the above statement, but replace the word “cars” with the word “freedom”.

They are starting to get incredibly upset about that, actually. Might be a good time to pull your head up and look around.

I’ve seen how bleary-eyed utopians “help people” and “save the world.” I wouldn’t wanna live in such a city. Regardless, I’m sure in the future I will be forced to either do just that, or else become a hermit. Or maybe some secret third thing will happen when enough people are fed up with enlightened meddling and social engineering…

Thing about it not as “restricting” cars. Rather, think about it as not requiring cars to live a normal life.

Those are comparable with the size of the Earth!
