I think the great realization will come when we clue into all the land currently given over to cars. Ultimately, I see high-speed (like, above 20 kph) vehicles reserved for transportation between neighborhoods, and local travel done by foot, bike, mobility cart, skateboards, so on. You've inspired me to continue this post. It's only been four months... Ian, it’s great to see you on here.

This will likely increase the sense of community, increase available housing (especially for the lower 3/4's of the income earners), decrease energy use, and counter the current trends. If done on a larger scale this idea, coupled with more sane transportation ideas (e.g. a network of bicycle paths), could see a lot less asphalt being used (currently up to 1/4 of the area in cities is paved over).
