    Yup. I’m of the opinion that cars inside cities need to be much more heavily regulated. I believe that the quality of cities would be improved hugely by providing cheap & plentiful parking on the outskirts with solid transit links into the city, and taxing people to the moon for parking inside, with very few parking spots.

    This would keep cars where they make sense: inter-city and rural. Keep them out of my dense urban environment, and keep the roads free for service vehicles, buses and ambulances.

      I am of the exact same opinion. I like having clean air and green spaces in my city and I’m really tired of the constant battle to walk places safely. If I am walking somewhere, I am guaranteed to have to avoid a car who didn’t care that there was a pedestrian with the right of way- or even smack in the middle of the crosswalk for that matter.
