Horse and cart, no. But some cities have banned cars and replaced them with various alternatives, and it works.

There are alternatives to the car culture we have. It would require significantly rebuilding how we build infrastructure, but the result could be much safer, cleaner, and less stressful.

Of course Americans would rather die, but counties of sane people might be able to work it out.

That simple huh?!

[ProfessorLayton]

Yes? Read that sentence again: "...how we build infrastructure"

Removing onerous parking requirements, like the ones that have resulted in countless strip malls and unwalkable cities with inadequate housing stock.

I'm not suggesting that's all that's necessary but there are indeed simple steps we could take.
