[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I think the idea is that the people who can afford to walk or bike, or have no kids or fewer errands will be more likely to get off the roads, and people who have no choice will stay on them. T[b]his is a way of shifting culture away from car dependancy. It happens in fits and starts, some more painful than others. This is the way.[/b][/quote] It's pretty clear that the view of many Smart Growthers on how to "shift the culture" in DC is to have fewer older residents in the District. They call them NIMBYs and pearl clutches, and mock them for depending on cars for nobility. Density Bros are a very ageist bunch.[/quote] Wouldn't it be great if older residents had more options, so they wouldn't have to depend on cars for mobility? Especially the older residents who really shouldn't even be driving anymore.[/quote]
