A street width most fire departments wouldn’t allow
Looks like a nightmare for many wheelchair users.

Well they don't have that many to be such a problem. Nobody shoots each other and they don't send any young adult to be blown up in middle east for oil. Also easier to keep fit and healthy as food is not engineered to be addictive
TBF the street width probably wouldn't be legal in Spain, either, if it was built this century. Europe doesn't build like this anymore.
Ya looks super safe boss! I'm sure everyone would be able to do a nice orderly exit in an emergency!
How does one take a pleasant photo like this and use it to bitch about cars?
There’s plenty of reasons to bitch about cars. And, the Internet is full of photos of the shitty environment created by cars. This photo doesn’t have to be one of them and it’s fucking stretch to make it about cars.
It's not even as though cars are the fundamental issue here as to why this sort of space doesn't exist in the usa
Because I want us to build things like this again. I live in Canada and we don't have even remotely as many old town areas that offer people-scale streets. I don't know where you live but maybe you live in a much older city so scenes like this are commonplace but they're non existent here outside of maybe Québec City.
Obviously this community is (with all due respect) an echo chamber so it's preaching to the choir but I still think it's important to be reminded of what we could have.
Did you even read OP's supercomment?
Don't they have that type of thing inside shopping centres and places like that?
Where do I park my car?
That's the neat part, you don't
in the ocean
No no. The whole car. Not just the battery
