Hoboken, New Jersey, recently marked seven consecutive years without a traffic death. Officials there credit their decision to take away some street parking, a change that increases visibility for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians.

Well then, by all means get rid of city parking minimums so that more people have to park on the street!

Or increase public transit so that people don't need to drive?

I’ve used the best public transit in the US, I have zero faith that would work out well

we need a massive design overhall as well and nonidea how’d we do that in an existing city

Stockholm tunneled under their 500-year-old city for a subway system. 500 years is older than America.

It could go very well.
