β€œThe whole idea that we should all own electric cars is ludicrous! … The answer is public transit.”

β€”sing it, David Suzuki! He’s live on CBC Radio in Canada, complaining about Via Rail…an angry old man after my own heart.

@straphanger The *numerous* answers include:

Public transit
More work-from-home options
Walkable areas with nearby fresh, affordable food and all the essential amenities
AND for as many people who DO need personal cars to have electric ones as possible.

We'll never erase the personal car from everyone's life, but we can help make them less necessary.

@straphanger And by walkable, I mean that not only are amenities CLOSE, but that sidewalks are wide enough and smooth enough for wheeled usage- wheelchairs, walkers, strollers, etc.

@falcoskywolf @straphanger What if I told you that such a city exists?

That city is Barcelona.
