People should not be allowed in the cities, unless they can first PROVE that they can either drive, or dodge traffic.
BTW, I lived in dt Seattle for a year. One day while walking across the street, a car did something stupid, drove around another car quickly and just missed me. I dove to the ground, suit, tie, briefcase. After that, I’m very careful about crossing the street...
I think this is why you see many people wearing sneakers downtown while wearing formal clothes, it’s so they can jump over, or around speeding traffic.
NYC is the worst. Someone gets run over by a car,bus, or truck every day in that city. (I watch My 9 News).
Mayor Bloomberg wants to ban all automobiles from Manhattan.
It’s usually gridlock 24/7 there. I think he’s on to something.
When I lived there (fifty years ago) traffic was reasonable. My family never owned a car. We took buses and the subway everywhere. Now it’s completely out of control. I don’t even go there anymore.
I live happily now in Bumpkinland, PA.
