If the city is designed so that walking and cycling are preferable, then why do they need to restrict the ability of their residents to drive when they choose to?

Obviously there's still congestion because car manufacturers, construction companies, bankers etc make trillions to enforce a car-centric world.

But look at Oxfordshire, do you know what kind of city it is? It's an ELITE area (home to the most elite university in the UK), they don't want the same enslavement to machines they enforce on the masses to be where they live. They want it nice and peaceful, no pollution etc. The plebeian masses can deal with the cancer, asthma etc from cars, industry etc. They have their nice flat city where everyone can walk and cycle around, and they limit cars to keep it nice.

This is about elites keeping their area nice, distinct from the worker bees who live in spiritual wastelands. Do you understand?

It's not a city, but a county. You don't seem to know that much yourself...

The gates are obviously going to be in the city you thick fuck. Why would they be closing off random empty country lanes and shit? Lolbert attempt to use his brain challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)

Hey SHITHEAD. This is what YOU wrote­.

The american equivalent would be: "Look at Massachusets, do you know what kind of city it is?" Do you realize how thoroughly moronic that makes you??? I'll keep "not using my brain" instead of, like you, being what, in full possession of all your wits? Drooling chimp.
