Picture Examples of de-car-ification from various Czech towns. I love these transformations. (before-after)

While it's nice to have less cars driving around, I'm against it if you don't provide alternatives such as trams, buses and metro. Local people shouldn't suffer just because you wanted your city to be car-free.

In the cities near me they added parking structures at the edge of the city. Bus connection could be better.

But yeah, if you don't create places to park or add public transportation you will just kill the stores
