I think it's funny because even if cars weren't invented then the images presented would still be the same. Cars followed the convention that was before them... horses, and horses with carts and cartridges.

Coincidentally it is the same space that is used by bikes. Or does the artist picture them as combat-biking on the pavement?

Man this sub is weird. i would block it but im kinda curious to see if it devolves into some kind of weird flat yearthy / vegany hybrid sub. god speed to you all, cuz you dont have cars i guess.

Also a depiction of how much of that space is actually paid for by car owners with registration fees. Someone has to pay the road fees to maintain all that walking space too.

Also to consider that the way the shops are build like that is because of cars not foot traffic. If it were a walking space that was explicitly built for walking and then was actually ‘surrendered’ to cars it would have been built quite differently to begin with. So it is far from accurate.
