""I love driving....It's dangerous to do the math on cars. The minute you begin to tally what they really cost, the question crops up of whether they bring freedom and independence into your life or whether they shackle you...the first factor in getting people to make some non-car choices in their trips has nothing to do with transportation. It's really all about land use. If people live in a community that's built so they can walk to the places they need to go, they'll do it."
