      Tokyo, London, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Amsterdam, New York?

      They all have over 50% non-car mode share. Wouldn’t call those dependent on cars.

      ?

      I’ve been to quite a few cities here in Europe that aren’t car dependent.

      Many cities are not car dependent. Even in the US there’s some where you can get around entirely without a car.

          nobody said that? its about supporting other modes of transit not banning cars. banning cars is not helpful if i still have to deal with several acres of parking lots and 8 lane stroads between every location.
