Car centric cities. Cities can and should be designed for people, keeping cars mostly out. The result is beautiful cities designed for people that make governments lots of money but the car companies will be earning a little less, ooffff

Make cities walkable, create actual safe roads for bikes, create 15 minute cities.

Look at the Netherlands, it damn works awesome

If you live outside the city, how do you commute to your workplace in the city? Park and ride?

[-] mrpants@midwest.social 5 points 1 year ago

Yeah, park and ride, bike and ride, complete public transit, or even driving on less crowded highways to cities with more available parking because other people chose other modes.

Ultimately how anyone would commute depends on their own personal factors and what's available. In the future we'll have more multimodal transport and that should make things nicer for everyone.

It's funny people always act like it's impossible for this to work when millions of people do it to NYC from as far north as Dutches county, way down long island, and into Connecticut. Millions more also drive sure enough, but suburban trains are viable the problem is they just dont exist or when they do have poor schedules.
