βPaul Bedford (photo: the bicycle wagon of a train in #Copenhagen's station.)
As Bedford points out, the opposite is also true:
"A good sustainability and quality of life indicator: the average amount of time spent in a car."
(Elevated time car-commuting time also turns out to be a reliable metric of social isolation and general life dissatisfaction.)
Niclas HedhmanWith Internet, society should be able to deprecate the "city". We don't all need to be stacked on top of each other, in homes, in cars, in subways and so on.
Doubt I will see it in my life time...
mnemonicoverload@niclas @straphanger To the extent that there are people who currently live in a city that don't really want to be there, sure. I think you might be underestimating how many people *want* to live somewhere vibrant and exciting with an abundance of choice of 3rd places to spend their time though.
Mans R@mnemonicoverload @niclas @straphanger I live in a small (250k) city, and I wouldn't want it any other way.
