Thanks for your judgement on my non-understanding of the issues. I was just following your lead making ridiculous comments for fun..... I think your take on 'the issues' is utopian, and completely impractical. As many others have said on here, there are ways via which 'social engineering' to reduce car ownership can be made without trying to shoehorn these changes in a short time-frame. Yes, we all need a 'wide perspective' on the future, but one eye must be kept on the short term practicalities for the majority of the population.
