Städte für Arbeitslose?

Eigentum. Schon mal was davon gehört?

Guter Vergleich. Du weißt schon, dass maximal 5% der Menschen es schaffen, ihre Gewöhnheiten dauerhaft (länger wie für 10 Jahre) umzustellen?

Wie wird man Kanzler mit 11%?

Wäre es nicht besser, wenn er dieses Geld für noch bessere Produkte ausgibt?

Why everything has to consume less electricity than Icelandic households? Why not just generate so much cheap green electricity that we can waste it for this and that?

50 and your parents 80 and someone needs to drive them to a doctors several times per week. Most of my usual journeys take 20 minutes with car and 40 minutes with public transit. When driving someone so often while trying to keep up working full-time, every minute matters.

I am open to all things tech and I would make a pilot and ship captain licenses if there weren't so expensive. I am also renovate my real estate myself (electric, water, heating, floor, walls, doors etc) because why should I pay someone else. As of your situation, wait and see when you are ⬇️

I've spent 15 years in Soviet Union. My first car I've only bought when I was 34. I am not going back.

One of the life experiences I hate most are buses at rush hour in summer, where everyone stay tight to each other, it's too hot inside, you have to stay for an hour (it's too much for my foot), you have a stinking smoker on your left and a chatter on your right. I don't think this can be fixed

they just promise me pain.

force me to use vehicles that cannot be customized to my comfort (by banning cars from Amsterdam, London, Paris etc)... ⬇️

I have a couple of health conditions from the very birth so that I grew up with the idea that nothing of standard fits me. I can't just go buy some closes from the shelf, I need them tailored. I can't just play the same amount of time, I can't just sleep in any bed, etc. So people who want to ⬇️

This is minor nuisance (just get your driving license man) compared to the advantages: lack of or lash zoning laws and a lot of land. Yes, everything is in short distance here, but you pay for this living with your neighbors being separated from you only by a 20 cm wall. And some of them are bad.

It is so crazy that you consider being individualist as negative feature.

too, on your private property. Is it different in Canada?

the new planned pedestrian zone cannot drive to their home anymore and so their investment in the car is from one day to another wasted. A better solution would be having your own backyard. Here is Germany, if you build a residential building with 6+ apartments, you have to build a playground ⬇️

So we are actually comparing the advantage people get that reaching a comfortable safe space is quick and easy with the disadvantage people have that they need to drive longer and the streets are more congested, because part of street network capacity gets lost. Also, people who live directly near ⬇️

stop preaching about the oh so beautiful futiristic cities without cars, where everyone is only walking and using public transit.

I am sorry? Here is Germany every left or green person wants to ban cars from the historical / inner parts of the cities (we don't have downtowns in US sense of word). Which is too much. European cities are already good enough for every mode of transportation, US can work on it, but please ⬇️

Forgot to mention beaches, museums, zoo, open theaters, libraries, cinemas, shopping malls...

Why wouldnt you go to parks, to school sport yards, to backyards of you home, to public playgrounds, to forests and fields outside of cities, or to places like Disneyland to play?

What would anybody want to hangout on the streets of a big city? I mean, the whole point of paved, straight, regulated streets is to allow for quick transportation by car. They are not suitable for hanging our or playing, too hard, to narrow, no shade, tarmac polluted with oil, petroleum and gummy ⬇️

Are you the same person as James?

Walkability exists almost everywhere except the US, and there is a difference between pedestrian zones or ban for cars in the inner city, and walkability.

As soon as they stop forcing their vision of the city onto me (how they already doing it in Germany)

Why do you think drivers will be more responsible, if you designate some part of the street to be pedestrian only zone?

Agree. European towns are walkable since last 1000 years and I consider it as given. Walkability is not the same as pedestrian zones (no cars allowed) though, and public transit should not replace cars but augment them

streets blocked for car traffic, some cities limit all or most of their streets to 30 kmh, ICEs illegal in 2035 etc. I do agree that some US cities might benefit from more walkability and bike lanes, but you also can overdo it and convert a living dynamic city to a museum.

They are in fact getting in the way of me driving cars, already today, here in Europe. Street lanes being replaced to bike lanes, whole ⬇️
