Are you saying high cost of parking is why cars are attractive?



I'm saying people are willing to pay the price and the state makes a compromise: discourage its use without making it impossible

Prices can only go up to a point, if they go up too much, you'll get street riots, like in France.

People would perceive them as another social injustice that favours reach people that can pay for the access or parking, while probably not needing it.

Bikes are cool, but are for bikers, and it's better like that

I've seen so many people almost kill themselves just because they thought they were good enough at it, but biking is not really an easy thing to do

Of course without cars there are less incidents between bikes and cars

In Netherlands cycling fatalities make up 30% of all the road deaths, which is a lot

In most cities we should promote public transport, which is not optimal for the single individual, but it's easier to deploy and really makes a difference for the community
