--0-1687328048-1070782434=:77539 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Hi, Your idea about making everything one lane is a very interesting idea, which might help us get around changes that would have to be made to laws concerning roads and zoning, etc. it could be a very good idea. You are also correct about the urban developers. We are still working to get our base solid and get our non-profit status. We hope that we will receive notification within a month, and then we are going to push our organization and our ideas. You are right that there are a lot of carfreecity nuts out there... we have to document it to convince skeptical developers, planners, governments, etc. Do you have any developers with big bucks in mind that you think we should talk to? Thanks for getting discussion on this group started again.

Some of them really get it. They simply never thought of staking out a whole city. Once the matrix was roped off and the the building codes were in place then they could sell to developers. Build it and car free nuts like me would come. In other words they would make money. Also it seems silly to ban cars All one would have to do is to make sure that cars would not be able to go faster than public transportation by making all roads one lane. If you can't pass the tram what's the point of having a car? We can trust people to do one thing consistently and that is to operate in their own best interests. Yahoo!
