Reimagining cities in a few simple questions
&gt; What would happen if public transportation were free?<p>Pretty much nothing, for instance in Prague it&#x27;s already essentialy free for less than a 42 eurocents per day for unlimited travelling, yet people use car because they don&#x27;t want to travel in crowded public transport with stinky homeless people or be stuck under such conditions in traffic jam or when bus&#x2F;tram breaks or doesn&#x27;t operate for whatever reason and I didn&#x27;t mention the biggest reason - faster direct travel without transfers, some people just value their own time and convenience more than few saved euros and would not travel by public transport even if you paid them to use it (for the record, I don&#x27;t own car and travel by public transport, but I am not blind to its inconvenience, which is imposing its own limits on my behavior).<p>&gt; What if public toilets were safe, beautiful, well-appointed and consistently maintained?<p>Not sure what is supposed to be answer, what does it have to do with living in city, finding toilet is really not a problem. People drinking and pissing in streets can urinate in pubs where they drink. If you have problem with people pissing in streets it seems more likely you have problem with alcohol prices so people drink outdoors. And I really doubt you will have toilets every 50m, because you can&#x27;t be serious extremely drunk person will walk half a km and try to find toilet instead urinating wherever they want.<p>&gt; What if there were a tax on empty storefronts, payable after three months of vacancy?<p>So essentialy communism forcing landlords to lower their rent to the level so people who will destroy their property will move there essentially making owning property worthless. This guy sounds like WEF member with 2030 agenda - &quot;you will own nothing and you will be happy&quot;.<p>This blog sounds pretty stupid and lazy without providing any answers, very lazy writing, sounds more like some cheap alcohol rant.
