Privately owned cars are fine, but we should abolish minimum parking requirements in zoning codes and outlaw on-street parking. Keep your car, but finding somewhere to park it is your own problem, not society’s.
We should also put all of the societal cost of car ownership and usage on car owners, then. No more subsidizing cars.
But at that point, car ownership becomes so expensive that only the rich can afford it. Which means they get to zoom around on largely uncongested roads while everyone else can’t.
And that doesn’t sit well with me, therefore I’m for a blanket ban.
We should also do this for commercial trucks. They cause the vast majority of road damage because of their weight and should pay for the vast majority of road maintenance costs. Charge the true price for freight and then see how profitable it is to ship things to houses.
We the people are subsidizing the for profit trucking industry and that is wrong.
