Just to compare, this is the utopian dream for Toronto:

There are approx. 18 cars and trucks in that image.

They are taking up SIGNIFICANTLY more space, and are causing traffic.

Still, we keep saying, “give us more of this, please!”.

Insanity or stupidity?

    we should stop making excuses that people in Amsterdam can do it only because the weather is nice and the land is flat

    The land is definitely flat, but I don’t think anyone would ever describe Dutch winters as nice. It’s not as cold as in many Canadian cities, but the wind from the North Sea and the lashings of sidewise rain aren’t easy to get used to.
