I was doing some research for a video and randomly came across this image from GM, which was on a page to promote the benefits of electric vehicles.

This image is obviously photoshopped, but look at this place. It's prime waterfront land, directly across the river from a city, and it's being shown as a featureless asphalt surface.

Even in their "optimistic" visions of the future, car companies' vision for cities is shit.

@notjustbikes Cities in this vision are places to go to, not to live in.
@scott @notjustbikes very true. I'll take this phrase, as it sums up what I heard so often in discussions with people that tell you that they need wide roads to visit the city and that all things that improve the life of people living in a city are obstructions to their needs. And also the city and its people should pay for all of it.
