OP summoned the fuckcars horde
In urban environments we don´t need different cars, we need less cars.
Why not both?
I in fact agree with both, but imo reducing the number of cars is the top priority.
No, we need less urban environment. High density cities are a cancer on the earth.
Agreed, but even with fewer cars, having the remaining ones be electric is much better. Quieter (at low speeds) and no fumes
So there’s no point in improving technology then? Shall we just go for highly polluting SUVs, just fewer of them?
That sounds like a strawman argument tbh. I didn’t say anything along those lines. I in fact agree that electric cars are better, just like smaller cars are better too but the basic problem, that they are cars, always remains. What improves cities the most is reducing the number of cars and rededicating streets and parking lots to sidewalks, bike paths, gardens and public parks.
Bullshit. It’s just a lifeline to the auto industry. Fuck cars.
Before cars were common, despite bicycles, trams, and trains all existing for a long time, our cities were filled with horses. Horses have this habit of shitting everywhere, and cars were welcomed because they made the cities cleaner and less disease ridden.
The horses filled a need that other things could not. Cars then filled that need. That needs still exists today, like it or not. It’s best we make them as clean as we can.
