    No, but should be able to take a bus. Even so, let him use a car I don’t mind, that’s what they’re for. Long distance transit, heavy hauling. The problem is with 95+% of the trips that are 4 miles and under where people drive their enormous pick-up trucks all empty. You can do those by bike.

    Edit:

    Just an example of what happens when you start reworked more and more car cities into people cities. You can still get there by car, it’s just that public transport and bike and walking is easier so why wouldn’t you

      That’s exactly what I was saying a few comments up. There’s a use-case for cars, and there needs to be a way to get into the city when you arrive by car. Any good solution will probably involve parking the car somewhere outside city limits, otherwise it’ll probably be co-opted by suburbanites.
