Why are we’all in such a rush, anyway? If you need to talk to someone right away, we got video conferencing. If you, in an emergency, really need to move somewhere fast, there’s helicopters. I say we just consign the whole ‘car’ idea to the dustbin of history, and just convert everything over to canals. If some insist on speed, we can consider adding a train system. But the only means of private mechanized transport must be by watercraft! That should be enough.
How about we comprimise and split the space between bike paths and canals?
Johnny Canal, is that you!?
Get in Donalds inner circle, praise him a bit and buy him a couple of hamburgers and consider it law
This would rule from an aesthetic perspective, but I predict you will run into problems with hills.
You vastly underestimate just how many locks I am willing to build!
Just fill them with fast water and it should make it over the hills.
Just move to the Netherlands!
Owning a boat is hella expensive though, a bike is just 50 / year for maintenance (or less, or more when it gets stolen)
Q: It’s 2025. Where is my flying car?
A: Best we can do is a canal boat.
Personally I love the idea. I’m ready to slow down and enjoy the scenery.
A society growing in knowledge: look at all the cars we can build!
A society growing in wisdom: what are in such a rush for anyway?
Not the craziest idea, but rich assholes will buy speedboats and ruin it like they do everything else.
