What if the problem with cars was not their method of propulsion? Epthinktank | European Parliament (epthinktank.eu)

Instead of just electrifying vehicles, cities should be investing in alternative methods of transportation. This article is by the Scientific Foresight Unit of the European Parliamentary Research Service (EPRS), a EU's own think tank.

Just take lanes away from cars

I understand the sentiment, but that could cause more issues than it solves. Cars then would be forced to compete for space with bicycle again,only this time on all bicycle roads. Or houses could not have car access at all, if you'd narrow the streets.

Why? The other person said: "Take lanes away from cars". There wouldn't be any cars on that lane.

Huh, somehow misread that as "take all lanes away"
