    If a medium sized city went all electric vehicles, there would be one or two possible ICEs producing electricity (assuming no hydroelectic) for the cars instead of 250,000+ ICEs on the roads. Quit your bullshit.

      No need to swear, friend. If that city switched to walking and shared transport, most of those roads could be converted into housing or parkland instead of concrete and parking.

        This assumes that everyone would go to one place for work and one place for shopping. And that they can walk the distances between.

        • I mean, a heck of a lot of people do get by just fine using public transport.

          I think a nice balance would be better, personally, but it is an option. Public transit would be more viable if we increased it’s infrastructure. I believe that more people would use it if it was more appealing.

          Sometimes it can be fun to not need to drive lol. Some of the best nights out over the last year ended in a bus ride home. Nobody had to be the DD this way.

          I don’t know why, but I feel like I should also specify that we kept to ourselves and didn’t really talk while we were on the bus those nights.

            I definitely want more of those options available, and walkable mixed use communities. It just cant solve everything, sadly
