I recently had the pleasure to vacation on a car-free island (few thousand inhabitants including tourists).

Only motorized vehicles allowed are a handfull small electric transporters for logistics (and construction vehicles, ambulance).

Turns out the space gained from lack of car infrastructure increases space efficiency by a lot (not that that wasn't obvious from theory).

It really was bliss and it makes me despise the status quo so much more fervently. Paradise is so close and yet so far away...
