Congratulations, you found three pictures of the two largest cities in Europe and the US at their time. Where there streets with mostly horse carriages? Yes. Where they the norm? No.
Why and when do you think traffic lights and zebra were invented. Why didn't they exist before?
See above...
Ever seen pictures and movies (yes, they exist) before cars were the norm? Streets were for people. People were not "crossing" the road, they walked on the road. People walked everywhere.
Ah, you're a troll, thx for letting us know.
So you didn't bother reading the comments right next to yours where I already explained this?
I gotta hand it to you, kid, you're the perfect specimen why communities like fuck cars exist, and why nothing is changing.
Even presented with a fucking wishing well you cannot come up with anything but "CAaAaR", because your imagination spans from wall to wallpaper.
You could have imagined and wished for e.g. a working infrastructure of cargo bike sharing, but nope!, car it is!
You don't understand why people hate cars, you're part of the reason people hate cars.
I don't have money, I don't make money, so I couldn't get an Uber/Lyft/Taxi (Not to mention that we don't have taxis where I live).
Ah, a car is free, of course, it just drops out of nowhere and runs on unicorn dust. Tonight, please ask mommy and daddy what they're paying for their car(s). Full cost: down payment, monthly payments, fuel, repairs, insurance, loss of value, everything.
I'm gonna tl;dr it for you: if you cannot afford a taxi/uber/whatever even once, you cannot afford a car. There, that was easy, wasn't it?
I ruled a bike out as an option as I CANNOT take a bike onto a school bus, so I can get to school.
I thought the printer was just 3 miles away? Did it ever occur to you you could have just gone home, pick up the cargo bike, ride the 3 miles to the printer which literally takes 10 minutes and pick it up?
Because you were wishing for a car but ruled out a bike as an option? 🤪
Good grief...
Most of all it's just that there's written rules, and that you can point at them if you feel things are too loud. With immission a lot is already considered when building new houses, train rails, streets, for example.
With cars and motorcycles there's also emission guidelines, and you have to register aftermarket changes with the inspection authority. And if the police catch you with unregistered alterations they can fine you, ask to show proof of registration within a week, or even impound your vehicle on the spot.
And if there's a e.g. noisy party in your area, you can call the police (a rite of passage for every German – your first noise complaint ("Ruhestörung")) and they will ask nicely one time, if they have to come a second or third time they might confiscate your stereo, disband the party, etc. But it's just their decision what's too loud, they won't take measurements.
If it's something that's not immediately obvious (e.g. dogs constantly barking), or the government is... less eager to act (e.g. airports) then it can evolve into a tedious and nerve wrecking legal battle. Which frequently happens.
🤦♀️ I literally gave you the space requirements of cars vs PT in a city that already has stellar public transport compared to the US, and you still can only come up with this utterly lobotomized hot take. Please tell me you're not developing something important.
