“Are you arguing that you have been unfairly targeted?” No, it was a borderline response. However very intentional as the alternative is proven where any “discussion” degrades to in the other thread with OP as I noted above would happen. OP has no interest having any discussions on the merits of closing one street for a market as does this podcast. It’s disingenuous to achieve one outcome: ban all cars.
It’s far simpler than that. Where is it in place, why and how right now (ignoring effectiveness). None apply to Australia, we will never have both the population or geographical size/density required for our cities to implement this in any meaningful manner within the next generation
You ignored everything I said to make up a straw man. Cool story.
Population size and density are utterly dependent on reaching serviceability. Australia will never get to this point as being claimed here. Why does the rural regions not have pumped water, public transport, garbage collection ect same reason further up the scale. Are we anywhere near the idealism of NY and wont be for a very very long time.
