10. I said no automobiles, not no vehicles.

The automobile age was once a fantasy, one that did not happen to end well.

Think of all the people who have been killed and maimed by automobiles, all the land that's been paved over, the air pollution, the greenhouse gasses... it's not a pretty picture. I am a very strong supporter of "handicap accessible" architecture and parking spaces, for a number of personal reasons.

So, somebody has got to imagine a better future, right?

I posted two alternatives in my post, no? Walkable communities (which might include any number of smaller electric vehicles and assistive technologies), and more conventionally, electric cars parked under solar awnings.

I'm not advocating a return to the horse and buggy days.
