Parking and related car infrastructure are often overlooked but exact huge costs in capital and make goals such as increasing affordable housing, reducing greenhouse gasses, and improving urban quality of life more elusive.
Without the transport made possible by cars and parking then where’s your affordable housing going to be, moron?
I’m coming to the conclusion that people such as that author are simply going to have to be killed off. To quote from A famous 80s film (Paraphrased)
‘They can’t be bargained with.
They can’t be reasoned with.
They don’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear.
And they absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.
I read that almost disbelief. A mere $85k for a parking space in Silicone Valley. In Central London they’re several times that. And six parking spaces for every car. UK it seems to be six cars for every space. It’s heaven! When can move there?
Don’t worry, there will soon be additional open parking spaces around Apple, Google, and Twitter. More parking is available at closed retailers in San Francisco.
Each space comes with a homeless person. Nightly car break-ins are available. Call 1-888-NEWSOME for additional details.
The plural of gas is not “gasses”. Maybe he’s got an American fixation on asses.
They want to go back to the old days when employers like Titus Salt built the employee housing surrounding the mill. No need for cars if you live on “t’doorstep of t’mill”.

Not necessarily – looks more like an attempt to make cycling to work compulsory.
School buses are a big business in America, but not works buses
@john77 – “looks more like an attempt to make cycling to work compulsory.”
How does that work in a household where two adults work and at least one child goes to school? If a big chunk of the population must live within cycling distance of two jobs and a school, that will be quite restrictive.
