The tech we need is mixed-use walkable neighbourhoods with reduced (or eliminated!) car traffic forced to travel slowly. It's one of the reasons I'd hate to grow old in my current house and we're considering Utrecht.

Utrecht was absolutely gorgeous. My fiance and I spent a few days in Amsterdam and I'm so glad we took a day to go out there and just walk around. Weather was trash (it was 2020 right before COVID started shutting things down) but even still one of my highlights from that trip.

We were very lucky that the author of this article* spent a day showing us around her neighbourhood. It's like the entire world has gone stark raving mad and "I think my child should be able to travel independently" is a controversial statement. Only a few pockets of sanity seem to exist.
