Australia still wants to be America when it grows up
Ban privately owned cars within medium to high density populated areas, improve public transport, expand railway to serve at least 90% of the population, remove street parking, and you won't have to deal with this stupidity anymore.
Don’t ban cars. Slowly start removing lanes and lower all speed limits to 30 kph until there’s just one left for emergency vehicles. Remove surface lots - underground parking is much more expensive. Improve public transportation. Impose congestion fees as % of net worth.
You're just describing the steps to a car ban 🤔 You might not officially call it a "ban", but removing any incentive to have a car achieves the same result. It's just a carrot approach vs a stick.
It would make a big difference in the US, where nudging people to make a choice is better than telling them flat out they can’t do something.
Also, I’m pro car for fun but not for daily use so… I don’t want an outright ban
