    In the short term, it would be time to either relocate to somewhere more practical, or change your lifestyle.

    Because that’s something easily doable in today’s economy.

    I’ve got no problem with cars being mostly removed from our cities and it’s slowly happening, but the utility of a car cannot be overlooked for non-repetitive and unplanned travel for those of us who don’t like the city

          Driving a car creates a higher risk of killing people than anything else most people do in their lives. Just look at the road toll. Don’t kid yourself, we’re definitely talking about a trade-off between convenience and risk to people’s lives.

            Yes and the path of least resistance to minimise that trade off is to make roads and cars safer with separated footpaths and bike ways. Car-restricted and Bike-restricted roads should be introduced. Banning cars and trucks outright creates new problems
