My point exactly: the term "car free city" is click bait.

Also how do you conclude that I didn't read the article when I refer to Barcelona's super block system mentioned in the article. Do a better job reading comments.

Well if that's your standard then "serverless" isn't really "server less" but we still call it that.

Severless refers to the fact that someone else is provisioning the server. By that standard, my friend that never uses public transit or bicycles, and Ubers everywhere is "car-free".

In fairness, a lot of us have been grumbling about that word since it caught on.

No not your point.. that point was already made in the article, noone is saying here (and no reasonable person would think?!?) that car-free means 100% car free, you are overly nit picking at a term for unknown reason.
