In the United States alone, cars kill 110 people EVERY DAY! And you're not panicking about it right now because the TV didn't tell you to panic.
In the last 40 years alone, cars have killed more people in the United States than ALL of America's wars COMBINED since its foundation.
These deadly speeding metals are also responsible for fragmenting society because it enabled city planners to segregate the places of work from the areas of living and leisure.
Let your eyes feast on this beautiful street. Imagine what your life would be like living in a city where all inner streets look like this. Imagine narrow streets within the neighborhood in which cars are not allowed to enter.
Imagine small businesses on the ground level of every building on every street where everything you'll ever need is always within a short walking distance.
Imagine that the first floors of all buildings are reserved for offices, which means you can live and work within the same building or on the same street.
Now ask yourself why all cities don't look like this? Who benefits the most from fragmenting cities and zoning out the places where people live from the places where they socialize and the places where they work.
Who profits from illegalizing mixed-used buildings through zoning laws? I'll give you a clue. What do you need when you live far from your work and from the places where people hang out in shops?
Obviously, you need a car. And what does every vehicle need to operate? Oil, of course! Yes, it's Big Oil that benefits the most from destroying our cities and infesting them with lethal speeding metal.
And the central banking dynasty behind Big Oil is also the same dynasty that founded the education system as we know it today. That's why architecture graduates are so deeply brainwashed that they only know how to design gated communities of single-use homes with no balconies. They only know how to design buildings that strangle social interactions and promotes isolation.
Urban developers build large residential-only communities that are filled with single-family houses with gated back and front yards. This architectural practice created what is called “Urban sprawl.”
The people living in these urban sprawls are separated by miles of other single-family houses and highways from everything they ever need such as retail, groceries, offices, schools, meeting places, restaurants, cafes, and public parks, and other facets of living. These basic needs are now centralized in specific geographic locations and separated by roads, highways, and walls. It’s nearly impossible to get to them on foot, and you’ll be forced to use a car just to reach them. Therefore, the option to walk to your stores was eliminated, and suddenly everything else became less accessible. Ultimately, urban sprawl residents found themselves consuming a gallon of gas to buy a gallon of milk.
In these urban sprawls, it becomes expensive for residents to drive and too far for them to walk to the places where they can socialize and meet people. So, they stay in their homes. Children growing up in these neighborhoods are predominantly unsocial because they got adopted to a community were less social activity happens.
This new dystopian reality killed the traditional mom and pop shops because they relied on people walking around the neighborhood. Everyone is moving around in cars, and they became conditioned to go to centralized places like malls and plazas to buy in bulk. It gave more control to larger corporations and created an economic condition that has suffocated local small businesses.
Today's urban planners design cities for cars, not people. Streets are now wider to accommodate as many cars as possible while buildings are now spaced out to accommodate wider streets. They're designed to inhibit people from being able to participate in the system. It’s not a fair-trade economy if people can’t participate in the market and contribute to the communities.
Restricting mixed-use buildings falls in favor of large businesses. There would naturally be more fast food businesses than MacDonald’s, for example, if every building in every neighborhood offered rentable shops for retail or services.
The solution is simple: Abolish all zoning laws in favor of mixed-use buildings.
