We Know The Future II
Count on the automobile disappearing in the US, Europe, and elsewhere
in the world as American, European, Asian and other cities go car-free and freeways and roads in the US and Europe get ripped up and replaced with mass transit systems and cities go from large to small, giving way to small cities and towns. Auto use will disappear and walking, biking, and transit will be the only ways to get around. Single-family areas and businesses not in the downtown cores will disappear and the land revert to its natural state or be turned into farmland. This is already happening in Washington State, Oregon, and Northern California particularly Berkeley. Richard Register's eco-city project was unanimously approved by the Berkeley City Council and the way has been cleared for his company, Eco-City Builders, to start changing the city into an ecocity. He's working on other projects in China and New Zealand. San Francisco will be car-free as its streets are transformed into pedestrian malls. San Jose will do the same. Los Angeles and Santa Monics are already going car-free. European cities are already going car-free including London, Paris, Rome, Edinburgh, Milan, Dublin, Berlin, Oslo, Helsinki (its downtown area is already car-free), Dresden, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, the Hague, Strasbourg, all cities in Switzerland, Hamburg, Athens, Madrid, Istanbul, Prague, Stockholm, Brussels, Vienna, and Monte Carlo, Monaco. In Canada, Vancouver, British Columbia, Calgary, Alberta, Montreal and Toronto are going car-free. In the United States, Cleveland, Ohio, Columbus, Ohio, New York City, Boston, Miami, Florida, Tampa, Florida, Portland, Oregon, Seattle, and Anchorage, Alaska are going car-free. In the Middle East, Tel Aviv and Jerusalem in Israel, cities in Morocco and Algeria, Cairo, Egypt, cities in Saudi Arabia, Tehran, Iran, and other Middle Eastern cities are going car-free. Bangkok, Thailand is now car-free. And freeways in the US and Europe are being torn up. I-95 is being torn up from Florida to Maine and all other freeways from coast to coast are being torn up. Air travel is also disappearing. Seven European nations have plans to close airports. This is all true. Sources: www.carfree.com www.carbusters.org European national and city web sites CNN Yahoo! News www.ci.berkeley.ca.us Freeways and paved roads are being torn up. America and the world are changing! |

I always like this posting when it comes around. And always different too!
Seems that he's changed it from all European cities being car free now. Possibly realised that people do actually read this newsgroup who live in Europe and can tell him it's bollox! Still fun to reply tho. Count on the automobile disappearing in the US, Europe, and elsewhere in the world as American, European, Asian and other cities go car-free and freeways and roads in the US and Europe get ripped up and replaced with mass transit systems and cities go from large to small, giving way to small cities and towns. Auto use will disappear and walking, biking, and transit will be the only ways to get around. Wow, dream that did you? San Francisco will be car-free as its streets are transformed into pedestrian malls. San Jose will do the same. Los Angeles and Santa Monics are already going car-free. I see. Can you show me the plans? European cities are already going car-free including London, Paris, Rome, Edinburgh, Milan, Dublin, Berlin, Oslo, Helsinki (its downtown area is already car-free), Dresden, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, the Hague, Strasbourg, all cities in Switzerland, Hamburg, Athens, Madrid, Istanbul, Prague, Stockholm, Brussels, Vienna, and Monte Carlo, Monaco. haha. This is all crap of course! You forgot Newcastle, we have a pedestrianised high street. I guess you could call that "car free". So did you get these city names out of your big altas of Europe? In Canada, Vancouver, British Columbia, Calgary, Alberta, Montreal and Toronto are going car-free. In the United States, Cleveland, Ohio, Columbus, Ohio, New York City, Boston, Miami, Florida, Tampa, Florida, Portland, Oregon, Seattle, and Anchorage, Alaska are going car-free. In the Middle East, Tel Aviv and Jerusalem in Israel, cities in Morocco and Algeria, Cairo, Egypt, cities in Saudi Arabia, Tehran, Iran, and other Middle Eastern cities are going car-free. Isn't it funny how only you know this and everyone elses experience is the exact opposite?! Bangkok, Thailand is now car-free. And freeways in the US and Europe are being torn up. I-95 is being torn up from Florida to Maine and all other freeways from coast to coast are being torn up. LMFAO! Yeah righty ho there. Show me even 1 mile of freeway/motorway which is being torn up, right now? You can't because there isn't any. In fact there are new motorways being built. Air travel is also disappearing. Seven European nations have plans to close airports. Surely air travel is all part of your plan to make things car free is it not? I could list the dozens of plans in Europe for new airports and airport expansions but I won't bother. This is all true. Sure it is. |

Where do these Loons come from ? London is STUFFED with cars, they have brought in a congestion charge to try and reduce it but there are still millions of the buggers In Canada, Vancouver, British Columbia, Calgary, Alberta, Montreal and Toronto are going car-free.

Bangkok, Thailand is now car-free. Say What ! From Time Asia "Black clouds of exhaust invade your nostrils. Red tail lights flash endlessly before your eyes. You are going nowhere, and not even fast. While Thailand remains one of the top destinations in Asia, Bangkok's legendary traffic jams are of such epic proportions that they drive the average tourist from the capital in about two days.

I really wonder how people think their cause is served by such bald face lies. Really?! Cars have been around 6000 years?! |

It's entirely possible that people will give up the use of cars. At the very least, once the Chinese get rich enough to afford the same kind of lifestyle that the folks in the US and Eurpe have, the price of gasoline everywhere is going to get _very_ expensive. It's pretty much guaranteed that people will give them up, and China is precisely why. The streets are currently packed with bicycles, which can move far more people per lateral meter of road per km of travel per hour than cars. Once the average Chinese joe can afford a car, the roads will quickly become impassable. Therefore we'll have an enterprising nation of a billion people working hard to come up with the Next Thing, and I'm quite confident they'll do it. Hopefully it will be an improvement this time rather than a setback (which the car was, except under idealized conditions). miguel -- See the world from your web browser: http://travel.u.nu/ |
