Doesn’t solve the underlying problems that are caused by having car-centric cities. Walkable cities where most people’s needs are meet within walking distance and the mass transit for times you need to further is the real solution.



Agree on walkable, although I really like the idea of personal public transport that would be door-to-door and on-demand. I expect it would distribute cities more, and alleviate the hub-and-spoke model that public transport is sometimes built to, e.g. Dublin, Ireland.


Which would still cause traffic issues, wasting public land on building more roads and wasting energy and resources. Plus propping up the auto industry that caused the problem in the first place.


What if you don't want to live in a city as dense as that?
