    Great idea, but they are taking it too far. People should be allowed to have a car, but it should be parked at the edge of the neighborhood and only be allowed to come in for loading and unloading of heavy things.

    That way you have all the benefits and almost no inconvenience at all. We have that in many places in Denmark and it works great.

      That’s exactly what this development is?

      There’s nothing more American than taking ideas to their extreme end.

      But, it’s also not surprising to see this behavior given that it’s a response to the other extreme of cars in every space, in every location.
