Who said anything about eliminating fire trucks? Only you did.
So you are going to keep the whole road network... just for fire trucks? Seems to contradict the idea in the earlier post, that the park was ruined by the expanded road.
How about people driving to hospital by the way? Or will the semi-infirmed be forced to walk/tram there? Perhaps we can further over burden the ambulance service by giving them a lift?
Eliminating AIDS also lessens the diversity.
It's also something of a pipe dream this day and age. You know, like the belief you can just wish away suburbs without any negative consequences.
The diversity of illness. Who cares about protecting suburban stupidityscapes.
Wow, a broad generalisation. Want to tell me what is stupid about my suburb? Or are you ignorant enough to assume all suburbs are Americanised, complete with McMansions?
It also completely dodges my point about social and economic diversity.
The same way they get them into the 18 wheelers - in smaller transportation vehicles. Farm vehicles are also like fire trucks and ambulances. About one percent of vehicles.
So why can't the farmer use said truck to drive into the urban areas and sell his own produce? Your train network forces the farmer to be dependant on go-betweens.
And why can't I have a car to move the weeks groceries, which the farmer originally supplied, to my home? The shop is only a short walk away, but no one would want to carry that much that far.
What about if I conceivably wanted to move furniture without hiring a removalist van? Garage sales are going to suck in your fantasy world.
No way, seriously? You drove out to the country. It's nice, isn't it. The smell of carbon monoxide mixed with roadkill.
Judging by this comment, you have never been to the real countryside. No wonder you like parks, it's nice a safe for psuedo rebels.
Are you happy with the smell of industry and horse shit? With the reduction in cars, factories are going to have to move to the workers. Or you could destroy people's freedom even more and effective restrict them to workers communities. Another bullet to the head of diversity.
Returning to that original post again, without the symbolic change in central park, we might very well have never gone beyond horse-drawn transport.
My posts must seem like the Cirque de Soleil.
Ah, you have finally caught me, I was wrong about something. Clowns are supposed to be entertaining. Maybe you are more like the clowns that entertain bored children in long queues.
So, do you have any further retreats to make? Or is car traffic not always bad.
