[Vision2020] Germany: " . . . Life Goes on Without Cars"

[Sam Scripter]

May 11, 2009 = Story date.

Too long ago for me to remember.

Was this NYT story posted on V2020 before? [Ted?]
 


  "In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars"

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/12/science/earth/12suburb.html

I wonder how this can work for bicycles and pedestrians, in regions
with winter ice and snow?

How can it work for seniors, who are not as agile as younger people,
in a culture like our rural one, where public transportation is so
sparse, the exception rather than the rule? 

How many would, and could, pay $40,000 for a space in a multi-story
parking structure at the edge of town, to keep their car?

Surely it would reduce Moscow's downtown parking "problem".

And reduce fossil fuel consumption as well.

I wonder if even my grandchildren will see this come to pass in
any significant way in the U.S.
