That is SO cool- I can't imagine how wonderful that would bee to live there.
Think of how much congestion would be relieved in places like NYC if they did some of that.

We don't have the right mindset to ever do this in America. Granted, we have terrible urban sprawl here which prevents a lot of that from taking place. It could be done, tho. I see that it could be done in my own community, but it will never happen. We are such slaves to our cars that I just can't imagine people giving that up. Makes me wish gas would go back up to near $5/gal. again so it would be on the forefront of people's minds. Perhaps that's why European cities are so much more car-free; the price of gas is insane. It would do wonders for our country's waistline, too.
Sorry- mini rant over.
