cities don't exist in a vacuum. Many towns die because something essential like a coal mine was removed from the economy, just like removing cars (no matter how noble) could kill some cities too.

I wasn't able to read the article. It was completely blank in my browser.

Could you say who is saying that we should remove cars from a city, even to the point that it would kill the city?

Because I've not heard anyone propose that. I've heard of car-free regions of a city, and cities like Venice which effectively had no private cars, and bans on some cars (like gasoline- and diesel-powered vehicles in favor of electric).

But never to the point that it would kill a city.

You have to physically click the page on it in order for it to load. The page is interactive even though the it doesn't explicitly say so. The New York Times assumes you know.
Interesting. It's acting different now than yesterday, so perhaps they fixed something?

Thanks for pointing it out.

Clicking on a bajillion one-sentence pages might win a design award but it's awful to read. I didn't.
