Pollution from fossil fuel combustion deadlier than previously thought

Not defending the post you reply to, but while well planned communities can require close to car free, the modern life is such that people are aware of - and cars enable easy access to - the greater world much more so than otherwise.

They want to see sights 90 minutes drive away. 3 hours drive away. And be home again that night.

I support "local living without cars as much as possible", but I think cars are here to stay for most of us.

Nowhere did I ever claim people shouldn’t have access to cars. I own a car. My wife owns a car. I drive 12k miles/year doing just what you described - day trips or weekend trips. But, I have the option to leave the car parked most of the week and it amazes me that more communities aren’t planned similarly.

People driving to see sights is really not the issue with cars that we have.
