I am surprised at the number of teenagers and University students I talk too who have no desire to own a car, considered to be costly would prefer to rent when necessary. Perhaps banning private vehicle ownership is a way forward.
That "way forward" forces a New York City model as being ideal. No way Jose', not going to happen... NYC is a perfect example of what NOT to be. Can you see one of those idealists living and working on a farm? No, not even commuting to a farm, an energy facility or a factory that actually produces something in the USA like steel? Where would they make commute vehicles, like trains and buses and ships?
