All very interesting, and I wish you well in your quest to reduce car dominance and save the trees! In the video I loved (!) the shot of the elderly couple struggling against the tide in the alien concrete jungle! What a travesty of human civilisation! It is definitely high time to reclaim our urban realm from the technocrats, who have been ruling and ruining our lives for too long. There could be a danger of overreacting against dominion of the vehicle, and until there is a viable alternative to personal transport that is equally convenient in all circumstances, it could be construed as an attack on individual freedom. But you seem to be pursuing positive compromise, which is good, rather than negative coercion – symbolised by London’s premature congestion charge – which is bad. My campaign, FiT Roads, which seeks to make Roads FiT for People, aims to free all road-users to use commonsense and common courtesy on roads free of counterproductive traffic controls. (I too have family in Israel by the way – how are you, Ran & co?)
