The whole world isn’t even allowed to drive up there now, so why would anyone, let alone me, argue for that? Don’t be ridiculous.
The whole sub-thread was me saying that this affects some people in negative ways and everyone acting like what I said is the worst thing ever.
Not surprising given that my initial comment was me effectively commenting that the time of big shopping streets is at an end due to the fact that it’s cheaper online but that it would be good for tourism.
I didn’t even use big words, I don’t know what there is to be confused about. 😵💫
I’m a carer for my disabled mother, but I’m always a huge believer of fuck cars. I’m super excited about all initiatives that reduce the number of cars on our roads as long as they put alternatives in place. That said, my mum does most of her shopping online, but occasionally she has days when she feels well enough to get outside and see things. So when I see things like this, I instantly think about ways she would be impacted. Under no circumstances am I advocating for a reversal of this decision in any way. But if they added some form of short transportation, I think it would increase accessibility for people like my mum. The decision isn’t mine to make or flesh out for feasibility, but I would be a shit son if I didn’t speak up about things I’m cognizant of and maybe one day, someone far smarter than I will provide a solution.

Wouldnt disabled folk already shop online?
I was taking issue with the idea that making people walk farther to a place is always bad for disabled people.
