If only we had invented and built some sort of alternative mode of collective transportation. Maybe it could be in tunnels and ride on metallic rails. It would serve many people and make periodic stops to the same locations instead of the highway clusterf- we have today. Sad that we don’t, but a man can dream though. A man can dream.

    Grid locking cars is the goal. You want people to say “ugh, I don’t want to drive because that’ll take all day. I’ll go by bicycle instead. It’ll be soo much faster”

      That might work for a day or two until you realize you don’t have any food in the supermarket and nobidy is picking up your garbage and the entire economy just stopped.

          They can’t, and also they cant haul thousands of pounds of food there without a truck. Even if you lived in a rural area, growing your own food is incredibly labor intensive. Do you know that before the invention of nitrogen fertilizer, it took about 90% of the people on earth to be farmers, in order to have enough food? The global population never really exceeded a billion people until the 20th century.
