Is that correct? That paper presents evidence for particulate matter pollution, but exhausts also produce volatile organic compounds and nitrogen oxides which are harmful to health.

Why is #drivernotcar preferred? Doesn’t it spotlight individual responsibility over systems that need fixing? In an analogous situation the gun lobby says ‘people kill people’ to minimise the role of the gun. Why minimise the role of the car?

I’ve never understood this. Isn’t this akin to pro gun activists saying ‘guns don’t kill people?’. The systemic issue is the car, focusing on the individual downplays the importance of systemic change.

This isn’t just visuals or perception though. Rough sleeping is objectively much worse for the person and for society than broader homelessness.

Won’t this just induce demand and increase overall costs ?

Until the barbz port over this place is off.
