London has already passed a tax for all cars entering the city. It's not that surprising that it would be proposed if a city is facing that much congestion. L.A. has been trying to discourage people from driving their cars for years.

It would be amazing to see more green space. The green roof sustainability design can only do so much.

european cities generally stress more population dense designs (although i can't speak on Hamburg since I've never been there but assuming it is since they want to do something like this).
considering the mass focus from urban to suburban living following WWII, most American cities and municipalities, outside of Chicago, NY, Phila, SF, DC, Seattle (maybe a few others I'm forgetting), were designed to be sprawled out, requiring some form of motor transit.

Rep to you for admitting you have no idea what you are talking about.
I wish others would follow suit

How's the public transportation in LA? I know they have buses but how is their train systems? My friend moved to cali and he said people don't like taking taxis because it feels beneath them.

People in cities are more active anyway. They do a ton of walking. Public transportation can be a real pain sometimes, especially in nyc with dirty trains and all the weirdos.

It really depens how the city is shaped imo. It seems impossible to implant in some cities. You also need you public transport system to be A1. Prices must be low too since it now has the "monopole" of the transportation (longer distance) and you can't take advantage of that as a city if you decide to ban cars.
I like the idea even if it's a bit extreme. I would just apply a tax on cars in the city, if you are ready to pay it, then you can drive. A price always makes people ajust to the situation.

I didn't see who the op was. He must've gotten into a fight with a car and wants all cars destroyed now.

i think this would be pretty cool.
more exercise, less accidents, less fat people, less pollution, less fat people.
it would have to be only in cities though, where public transportation is already in place. im not walking 10 miles to work.

NYC metro works well cause of how the city (and boroughs) is laid out.
I heard LA is terrible.

I wouldn't say L.A. has discouraged drivers at all, but have finally taken steps to offer an alternative. We aren't a city that's known for our public transportation because of how spread out things are. With how long it takes for a freeway project to be complete we definitely need to take other measures. This is an interesting direction for a major city to go in; I wonder if it will happen.
