That or we can get to a point where we reduce cars in cities to a minimum. We'll probably still need car noise for the few that exist but the better solution in most ways is just to have way less cars.


i have a crazy dream that all roads would be underground... how beautiful the landscape would be without roads...


You'd need a lot of exit ramps going up though, and it would be pretty tricky for emergency services to reach the places they need to go to. Personally I'm a big fan of reducing through traffic as much as possible and banning vehicles other than for the disabled and emergency services from city cores.


yea, i think logistically its super hard and most likely not practical at all, but it would be amazing if possible...

> We could have big houses, with windows that shutter in the summer mornings to keep out every bit of the too-early light of dawn, or shutter in the night to leave the stars absolutely untouched. We could have roofs that let in the sun.

oh god, yes please!
