    Probably “we should eliminate cars as personal transportation”

      I think that’s about as controversial as saying “We should abandon industrialized meat production”.

      trains are great but motorbikes work really well too. living in a society dominated by two wheeled vehicles, every traffic jam you see is caused by some third dingus in a car

        No they don’t, motorcycles encourage the same city design (my fundamental problem with cars) and are even louder. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdDYVjDwgwA

                Don’t forget about ebikes being an option. They aren’t too fast or loud (legal ones anyways, just because you can buy it doesn’t make it street legal). They still help close the time gap between cars and bikes in cities. I love my ebike and its cheaper to own and operate than any motor vehicle.
