I don't own a car myself, although the closest I have to a car coop is to simply use Uber when I need to drive. I'm fortunate that my engineering work allows me to be entirely remote. But it does have the distinct negative side effect of making it easy to stay indoors for days at a time. I have to make an effort to get out and meet people in the community, and there are a lot of places I would visit more often but they are just out of range of bicycle.
For large cities where zoning can mean certain types of places are farther from concentrated residential areas, accomplishing a phase out of cars would really mean a restructuring of city layouts. I'd love to see moving out of cities and a reemergence of many smaller towns that have most of what the population would need locally. That's tough while jobs are concentrated in cities, but I do still agree that phasing out cars and finding creative ways to live and work with less population density would bring tremendous benefits to everyone.
A comment currently atop the YouTube page where this film is presently available says "DW deleted this documentary film from their channel. Why? You tell me."
I'll tell you why. There is a propaganda war going on, and those who favor the message this film presents are losing that war.
This film is at serious risk of disappearing everywhere, and it's up to us to take a stand to keep this from happening.
The least we can do is to share this as broadly and widely as possible while it remains available to us to view! I say this with a feeling of sincere urgency.
I rounded the average car length of 14.83 feet to 15 feet for my calculation, for ease of calculation. The difference is not significant for my purposes.
