I’ve found the most reliable form of transportation for the able-bodied is walking.

A city can have a downtown that is built for people first, or cars first, but not both. It is impossible to have one’s cake and eat it, too, in terms of getting vehicle traffic through quickly, and creating a safe, pleasant, main street atmosphere for people outside of cars.

Right now, much of Boston is trying to have its cake and eat it, too, and we’re all suffering for it. Ban cars. Build more housing. Let them walk.
