What New York Can Learn from Barcelona’s ‘Superblocks’
There&#x27;s no such thing as a space &quot;just for automobiles&quot;. <i>People</i> are in those cars. People who are trying to go to&#x2F;from somewhere.  If you want to get rid of cars, you have to provide some alternative (preferably <i>better</i>) mode of transportation for the people and stuff within them.<p>But that part rarely happens. Everyone loves doing the easy part (ban cars!). No one wants to do the hard part of still letting people and stuff get around somehow.<p>It&#x27;s like saying &quot;sewers smell gross, we should ban them&quot;, while conveniently ignoring the fact that thousands of people are still going to generate wastewater, and it&#x27;s has to go somewhere.
