On: It's time to ban cars from Manhattan?

The American worldview on (the necessity of) cars is going to be hard to shift, but boy oh boy would it change your country for the better.

Sincerely,

A European.

When you go to the US you will see that apart from very dense city centers there are a lot of people living pretty far away from the next town with nothing in between. There is no practical way, right now, to live without a car if you are in such a situation.

That doesn't excuse doing nothing in the cities.

[ekianjo → Doctor_Fegg]

Sure, but it will not solve the problem that most people will need cars to get around.

This would necessitate shifting the American worldview on having a quarter acre of land to yourself as opposed to living in a buildings adjacent to one another.
