@syfershock @EggKnees > I didn't hear the clarion call to ban automobiles or public roadways
I guess you haven't hared of #FuckCars, #NotJustBikes or the #WarOnCars with calls for the solution of #BuildMoreTrains and actually sane not #CarDependent #urbanism?

@ami_angelwings @particles Kind of. Also that'd be horrible in terms of sheer inefficiency, carbon emissions & infrastructure.
Imagine parking requiring feed, shade, water (i.e. plumbing) & so on.
And there's no repairing the horse if it breaks.
The two answers are doing away with sprawl & #BuildMoreTrains.
@DavidM_yeg @BrentToderian Yeah, USA (and #Canada) seems hellbent on fucking up their infrastructure as much as possible so that #CarDependency is the only option, nevermind how unsustainable and inconvenient it is.

Something to keep in mind with #SolarPunk is that #SustainableDevelopment tends not to look like towering sky-scrapers with a few trees growing on their side, but rather starts with smart land-use. Car-dependent #SuburbanSprawl is not smart land-use and is not #sustainable, it's a waste of #ArableLand.

It's both amusing and sad.
(Yes I'm mostly commenting on a short timestamp, the rest of the video is just neat nerdy stuff.)
