This list is sounding like a bunch of worry worts! Do you want to build a
carfree city or not? (package delivery?!)

(personally It sounds like quite a lot of effort- one might also consider
taking over a place, closing the streets down and going from there- then
again, a new development might be easier)

I long ago ceased to care a whole lot what others think! (It's nice to
have a few people who value something about you though)

My advice: move to nyc! (or out of the US)

(or find a place where you don't mind being one of the few
carfree-Monterey, CA worked for me for a while. DC also is nice.)

I'll help you move here and find a job.

If you show up tuesday you can stay in my place for two nights or I can
show you how to find a room the same day you show up for no more
than $100/week in a clean apartment with spanish speaking people.

Let me know when you plan to arrive!
