Let’s try that here in Minneapolis. See how well that works with several inches of snow cover and sub-zero temps.

I’m def not a “I love cars” kind of person, but a heated and protected pod to transport me, my family and friends, my belongings and anything I purchase is a necessity. Can’t just “pop to the grocery” every day or two in winter conditions even if I didn’t live miles away from any viable store with food.

Almost like how most of those streets were originally designed, before cars were invented

Car with horse existed when theses road were designed.
It's even a paved road, I find it a bit sad they tore down the pavement.
There is even a photo somewhere on internet where you can see a dead horse with kids playing next to it as car pass by.

Exemple of a photo 100year ago in Paris:

Pedestrian can walk on pavement.

I'd like to remind that cars were banned in center of Rome, because there was too much cars.
And I'm talking about the Rome of 2000 years ago.

They might have not suffered the noise of cars as much as today, but accordig to that photo they did constantly suffer the noise of lowercase a everywhere

Kuinox ,

A horse carriage is very loud on pavement.
Also lots of horseshit everywhere.
