A brilliant illustration of how much public space we've surrendered to cars

Except we haven't, because it's the public thats driving those cars to get places

Don't like the great convenience of cars? Being able to cross hundreds of miles in a day? Liberty to easily travel? Or convenience of having goods shipped to your local stores? Sure it takes space to do so, but it's a small cost. Buildings and houses amount for a ton of "lost public space" as well

Yeah, it is kind of horse shit, although arguably necessary.

You are absolutely right! We should walk hundreds of miles! Instead of hours it would be weeks!
