Re: Re: Ireland’s planning apocalypse

Just on the subject of car ownership,
here in new york city (bronx,brooklyn, queens and staten island) over 50% of households do not even own a car

the figure is 75% for manhattan

NYC completly goes against the US trend where 90% of americans (on average) drive to work:eek:
This is not an accident, high density and excellent subway not buses! never understood how more buses and narrowing of our insanely narrow roads(to cars) are supposed to ease traffic
Some people, i think are always going to drive, even just using the lousy weather is a good enough excuse
More buses, maybe, in the very short term until solid rail links are in place
