A private MV trip should end at a parking lot on or near a big road, and from there, the traveler should do the last mile or so on foot or bus or bicycle or something similar.
What do you folks think?
Outside of the LCF brand of pleasure derived from sticking it to everybody who doesn't share their lifestyle choice, what is the significant gain for anybody from such a scheme?
Ya do realize that many if not most bicyclists, pedestrians, and even wheelchair users may prefer to use or be driven in their privately owned automobiles to and from their home on many if not most occasions when they leave their neighborhood; especially in inclement weather or if they are not up for a mile walk to and from their car at every stop on their travels. How does everybody (including bicyclists, pedestrians, and even wheelchair users) or anybody gain by a scheme forcing them to park a mile away from their destination? Do their automobiles take less precious space or what?
