Firstly, I’m aware that my question gives the impression that I hold anti-urbaninst views but that’s not the case. If such a measure were to be implemented I would fully support it. I’m merely curious as to what would happen to emergency services if a total ban on personal, motorized vehicles was enacted. I’m especially curious to how cities or even countries with low car dependency handle EMS.
The idea isn’t to get rid of cars, but get rid of the need for cars.
When I lived in Montréal, I took my car maybe every 2-3 months usually driving a couple hours out of the city for family, or big purchases.
I was actively avoiding taking the car because it was genuinely a worse experience. Not because the city makes it a pain, but by the time I’d have woken up my car from deep sleep and navigated out of the parking, I literally could have been at my destination already if I had just walked. Even taking a metro and a bus to get to work is faster than many american’s daily commutes, and I get to play games or read a boot or whatever on the way, munch on some food. Get a couple drinks on the way home without having to worry about being sober enough to drive.
Taking a car to go 500ft away is just dumb.
Any good boot recommendations?
I’ve finished all the shoes I have and want to move on to something more substantial.
Vasque, keen, Merrell are all decent hiker boots that tend to hold up. Like many things you get what you pay for.
Bless you!
