I haven't owned a car since 1996. I walk and take transit everywhere. This is not because I'm Super Virtuous Low Carbon Girl. This is because Chicago has INFRASTRUCTURE. Much of it was built in the 19th century and acts like it, but it functions, and when you add the hassles of parking, weather, and general traffic and nuttiness, its not that worthwhile to own a car.
But when you say to the Carrboro Hippies that what they need is urban planning they're like, Ew, you mean like a CITY? As if cities were the sin qua non of misery and despair.
