    It’s safer, better for businesses, and great for people’s health & the environment. What’s not to love‽

      Our cheapest housing is car dependent. These ideas sound nice but without enormous infrastructure investment, projects that will take a decade or more, the reality is that they disproportionately benefit wealthy areas that are well served by public transport to the detriment of poorer areas.

      I can imagine that it would be incredibly disruptive for some businesses and some people - to a point where it could become an impediment to public support for more walkable cities.

      Sadly, our cities are designed for cars. Simply not using a car doesn’t solve the problems for most people.
