  1. The "pandemic" is not an excuse for forcing social engineering in unrelated shit.

  2. City governments can't permanently prohibit vehicles from streets easily as this is significantly intertwined with property rights in the legal system.

  4.  @Zraknul  You can't override the common law status of long existing public right of ways. The government does not even own the land underlying most roads so changing how they are accessed can be a violation of property rights.

  5.  @Forlfir  Public transportation sucks ass for getting groceries.

  6. The common law right of way belongs to ALL forms of transportation that can use it practically. It exists primarily for the adjacent property owners and tenants, not to be convenient for any particular form of traffic.

  7.  @Apankou  Germany has a lot of top-down authoritarianism. Most of these trendy "pedestrian friendly" things are recent inventions while the streets themselves are much older and likely not originally planned by the government. The government's claim of domain over them can be challenged with logic even though collectivist states' laws ignore logic.

  10.  @matsui90  Restricting travel in any way is kind of gay. The city of London should prove that it owns the streets. I bet a title search will find that it doesn't.

  11. Streets should just not be subsidized with tax money. People can use them however they want.

  12. "Urban living" popularity has been slowing for a few years and there are indications that the hipsters have been growing out of it. It appears there are now a couple more considerations to help them make their decision.

  14. Can you do a video about right in-right out only entrances? As an engineer, I hate those fucking things and make lefts all the time when I feel like it. Unmountable medians make it even more fun.
