Why would you need to get on the subway to go to the grocery store? When I lived in Paris I was within a five minute walk to at least three general grocery stores plus various speciality shops. Always plenty of parents all around. This is not uncommon in properly designed non-car dependent cities. Not to mention deliveries are just that much easier and all without a car.

In more than a decade living in Stockholm never had a mentally ill homeless person bothering anyone in the subway.

Perhaps the subway itself isn't the problem...

Men would rather build a continent-sized car-dependent infrastructure that deal with mentally ill homeless people on the subway...

Surely the priority should be to help those with mental issues and those without homes? It's bizarre to want to live in a society that prioritises car use so that people don't have to see those discarded by the same society.

wow. this thread is microcosm of how wild and polarised the internet can be.

A mom can also take her car in a non-car-dependent infrastructure.
