Narrowing and traffic calming urban roads to where cars cannot pass cyclists would be a very difficult battle in Ontario where full sized fire engines respond to every call including for paramedics, demanding wide roads. Traffic calming has been fought tooth and nail by HOAs and many of the urban roads are stroads which cannot legally be traffic calmed with a 70km+ speed limit.

Sharing traffic between cyclists and motorists has been absolutely deadly and most people will not even attempt to ride a bicycle unless they hahe dedicated infrastructure in Ontario which Ford is trying to make illegal. Even if you follow your proposed vehicular cycling, the proposed legislation makes that more difficult too.

Easy peasy, let's simply all own a commuting car and a race car. /s

It's even nicer to have that big item delivered and still come out on top in gas savings.

For the same amount of people, you wouldn't need to.

They supplement and decentralise food production, building resiliency into our systems.

Someone who hates or distrusts humankind certainly isn't a positive trait.

IMO this is a universal problem. I've had neighbours in a single family house that choose to mow their lawn at 7am on a Saturday and have a very loud pickup truck that I can hear start up any time they drive it.

I know you're not serious but this is a really sad and hateful worldview.

Those are great too :) with some small grocery stores at corners occasionally.

It's possible to own a condo apartment, or if the building is structured as a co-op, then rent is permanently affordable and you have a stake in how the building is run.
