Shootingstar, show him what the EU plans. Wonder what he will think?

Surprisingly long list of communities already doing the car-free thang

I suppose that if a family saved $7,000/year by going car-light/free, than much of that $7,000 might be spent in local mom & pop stores that were accessible by bicycle.

They could spend it at Walmart for all I know. It's a $7k raise. Do what with it what you will

A coworker just bought a house in Tracy, a tough, crowded, hour-long commute from our mutual office. She felt she could not afford a home closer. You kidding? In this market? Anywho add the miles, wear tear on the car, time ... it's almost like buying another house.

I think most people whether they drive or bike would like to do at least some errands by foot or on a bike. Most people want liveable communities even if they drive often.
