...and that means you need to use trucks 3x the size of a normal car, with double the noise output, half the efficiency and four blindspots the size of a child?
That's exactly their point though? The people who argue for cars argue that they're necessary because US cities aren't walkable, while conveniently ignoring that that's entirely due to the auto industry and that making cities more walkable is still an option. They're pointing out how fucked that logic is.
If that's not what they're saying, then they're a terrible communicator as well as an idiot.
And in 80 years we might get the report from the committee about the proposal to create a committee to study the feasibility of possibly allowing four story homes.
True but this really has little to do with the excessive noise issues. Really easy to build quieter cars, we just let assholes choose how loud they want to be and the results are predictable.
