To carry 50,000 people per hour in each direction, a city needs a 175m wide road for cars.
Even if those cars are electric.
And then there’s all the parking.
OR a city can move A LOT MORE people in a lot less space, with A LOT LESS public money, emissions, pollution, noise etc.
Choices.
Simple.

Eliminating arbitrary mandates and letting consumers decide how much parking they want to pay for is one of the easiest thing local policymakers can do to bring down housing costs.
It turns out the most effective tool to get more housing built might just be: stop forcing people to build parking….

THIS IS HUGE. Paris City Hall has announced that starting on Monday, Paris will limit (not ban) car traffic in the city centre, as cities like Ghent have done. They’re creating a limited traffic zone (ZTL) about 2 sq miles in size, to clean the air & create more space for people.
