    The solution is -besides regulations for that - have governments push for much MUCH more bicycle roads and same for public transportation. With great public transportation and bicycle roads, most people won’t need cars to begin with.

      In the USA, that boat sailed long ago… most cities are too spread out to pedal anywhere

        My city is just too hilly. Cycling around is one thing, and they just put in new bike lanes (they’re not good ones, but still), but doing that with a grocery run or 60lbs of cat food and litter? No thank you.

        Nah, it’s never too late. All you need is the will, the rest will come.

      I mean, if we are imagining government doing it’s actual job, isn’t it easier to pass regulations then to change how North American cities work?

      Like I support walkable cities, I’m just convinced (majority of) regular people don’t actually want it.
