asked this on c/urbanism once but figured I'd ask here also

    I'd permit cars, but I would make them not be the primary means of transportation, so they will ACTUALLY be more symbolic of freedom: you can have one if you like, but 9 times out of 10 you don't need one and my country's culture will not pressure you into getting one.

    This is because in my ideal world, most people would live in either megacities, smaller cities or rural communities. Public transportation (which usually gets you 4 dollars back in economic output for every dollar you put into it) will be the primary mode of transportation but cities will be as walkable as possible. Keep in mind that this is me talking about a country built from the ground up.

    Cars are definitely fine, but they're more marketed towards people living in the countryside or hobbyists rather than everyone.
