    Just build walkable cities and neighborhoods, connected with public transit.

    If people don’t need cars, they won’t get stolen.

      (whining) But that would mean funding public transit well, which might mean it’s not profitable!

      Meanwhile we keep funding cops to the tune of 30%+ of budgets.

      sigh

        Roads also aren’t profitable.

        A bike path costs 1/10th the cost of a road, and requires 1% the maintaince over time (less SNIC)

          In a city like Winnipeg where we historically have -20 to -40C temps for 6 months of the year, bike paths aren’t used as much.

          Remember to take into account different temperate zones when making blanket statements.
