Ban private cars in cities. Seriously.

@davidho I share the sentiment but I worry about accessibility issues, where maybe some people might need private cars to get into town?

@drmambobob @davidho "get into town" and "get around town" are two different problem areas.

@ojrask @davidho Yeah that’s a good point. At least would be good to be able to get somewhere close enough with young kids before having to switch to public transport

@drmambobob @davidho yup, it is important to have good inbound connectivity for people who are not coming from some other city via train or so on, and have to opt for a car instead.

@ojrask @davidho though we did struggle in Tokyo when my wife was pregnant and subsequently with a newborn. Big cities need to be more accessible even with the current public transport infrastructure, especially barrier free station designs.
