[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, I would love to see someone pogo-sticking to work in a bike lane.  Would probably admire their core strength.[/quote]

It wouldn't even have to be pogo-sticking to work. Just any pogo-sticking for transportation. I would love to see that too.[/quote]

We could also just ban cars from going downtown. Of course, every store downtown would go out of business because their customer base would evaporate. But at least we were making an anti-car statement, right?[/quote]

The only people who spend money downtown are people who drove there and parked? What a really odd idea.[/quote]

you need to work on your reading comprehension. [/quote]
It's funny that on the one hand, the person posts that 40% of people that commute take a car [citation needed] and then on the other hand, doesn't understand what a 40% (or even 20%) loss of revenue would do for most businesses downtown.[/quote]

I posted the number. The source is the census bureau. I'm not the same poster you've been arguing with.  Me, I think that just as people drive to and park in shopping malls and other locations and then walk around (and shop) they can also do so in downtowns.[/quote]

they can, but they’ll need to pay market rate for parking, share the road, and drive at a safe speed. [/quote]
