Can't WAIT till the bulk of milennials start to have kids or feel the pangs of old age to see just how stupid and imractical their ideas are.

I support walk ability but I also support efficiency. Growth around metro stations, new urbanism - all good. But this push to become careless especially in DC? Just bad. Depending on where you live and work, cars are much better t,Han metro. That needs to be taken into consideration.

That is awesome. I would love to see that happen in DC. One day a year when cars are banned in densest parts of the city.

A flight leaves every day, move there

You sound like an ignorant idiot.

Have you always suffered from an inability to recognize sarcasm?

Not when it is sounds ignorant and bigoted.

Speaking of ignorant.... (np)

I think it's a great idea! I already bike to work (VA to DC) once or twice a week so I'm prepared.

Um, for you, maybe. But I've been carless here for 15 years and just can't bring myself to face the pain of owning a car and having to park it wherever I go. Such a much better lifestyle to walk, bus, metro everywhere. I've even commuted out of the city for 8 years. I'd much much much rather spend 60 mins reading than 45 minutes (which quickly becomes 2 hours) fighting traffic.

I believe that would also be called the day DC lost half of its sales tax revenue for a day. Lawn chair sitting and ice tea drinking by the natives could be taxed for the fun of smirking at suburbanites and to make up for the tax deficit from the suburbanites. Would you do that PP?

Stockholm has both -- in fact a more aged population than the US. The difference is socialism. Bring it on to the US, and we can have the same socialist paradise.

Do you know what "bigoted" means?

Most definitely and it can and does apply here.

I would work from home that day. I metro about half the time to commute but the influx of extra people would cause a metro collapse. Delays and broken doors would be epic.

How many kids do you have and how old are they? I just can't imagine the logistics of kids and being a carless family.

Yes comrades- onwards to the barricades! We, the vanguard of the revolution, will rise up and crush the bougiousi capitalist running dogs! Then create this paradise you speak of just as brother Stalin once did!!

Montgomery County alone has a larger population than all of Stockholm. It's a lot easier to go carless in a city that is compact and with few people to move around.

America is so unenlightened and backwards; the entire country needs to catch up to Europe.

Cars are worse than metro! Do you know NOTHING about climate change ??? Or don't you care?
