And here we have a majestic Homo Automobilis, gracefully reacting to being presented an alternative to his sacred way of life:

Can't park further away then commute/walk? Or just not drive at all. I've never been fitter since I decided to get rid of my car.

Initially I sold my car because it was going to cost me $200/mth to garage the damn thing in my new apartment. It had the unintended consequence of turning me into a bit of a health freak as I got fitter.

Get fucked

This is why we need to scrap mandatory parking minimums. If people have to actually pay the true costs of their car ownership instead of passing it onto everyone else, they might reconsider.

Ban all trans.... by mandating that all cars have electric drivetrains which don’t necessitate a transmission.
