Here in North America (Canada specifically in my case) there appear to be excuses for an abundance of car ownership. We screwed up our town and city planning big time for 60 straight years and now its darn near impossible to walk in some places. But I’ve seen numerous towns and cities in Britain and they are so much more walkable and bikeable than here. If Britain continues to see increased car ownership as progress, then you guys are going to end up with a whole bunch of Milton Keynes. I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t want that. I’ve written a few related bit about the impacts of the automobile:
