I was catching up on some older Scientific American articles and came across this one from March.

It's an article about the problems caused by car dependency, and it hits all of the important parts of a solution (zoning, regulation exceptions for SUVs, free parking, etc).

There are no surprises to anyone who has been orange-pilled, but it's still nice to see this kind of article in the more mainstream press.

@notjustbikes Some points are vague.

'In the U.S., the costs of car dependency keep growing, far above the $12,000-per-year average expense of owning a new one.'

'Coast-to-coast, the cars and trucks we drive cause about 16 percent of greenhouse gas emissions.'
Of all GHGs? Only US?

'We can start by reforming zoning laws to eliminate low-density and single-family residential home restrictions in new developments and to add flexibility for stores and enough homes to support them.'
???

@notjustbikes I haven't accessed the links on that page to answer my questions, but feel free to do so.

Be careful with the multi mooners, though. Oftentimes, they are maniacs.

One can usually find bs on their main page, e. g.:
'Superheavy Elements Are Breaking the Periodic Table'
'These Gray Whales Are Shrinking and Scientists Aren’t Sure Why'
