A city with no cars? A city where nobody lives... (Score 1)

Seriously, cars are needed by most people that live in the U.S., simply because everything is so spread out. A city with no cars might as well be a 'vertically integrated' skyscraper, and either way will be horribly overpriced for people to live in- far more than they will save by not having cars! What a worthless ideal! Cars exist for a reason; they get you from one place to another at a reasonable speed, with little effort, and on YOUR terms. Unlike walking or bicycling or mass transit. I recently looked at using public transit to get to my business, and was disappointed to find that in order to use the bus, I would have to close my shop an hour earlier. Until public transit is universally available, at all hours, and goes reasonably close to all destinations, it's worthless to those that have even the simplest requirements for transportation. And that's why you'll never be rid of personal transportation vehicles.
