minus-square@TrickDacylink-3•11 months agoI suspect you’re referring to the use of the term when applied to a person. It makes much more sense to me to say “I’m car free” even if I own a car if I don’t drive it regularly. I mean, still not accurate, but makes more sense.
minus-squareBo7alinkfedilink5•11 months agoI’m referring to how folks use it on social media. ‘car free city’ very very rarely would mean banning cars from a city. I’m not saying it is the correct term. At all. ‘walkable cities’ makes more sense to me.
