@NickSzabo4 2/ use modern technology for many things they travel to the city. What's left is FOMO, which is stupid and ppl will learn that.
Key to making cities "walkable" is to improve last-mile mobility: e.g. make elevator cars move in more dimensions:http://theverge.com/e/7082626

@Nightwolf42 There's still a Metcalfe's Law for face-to-face interactions. Also why endless pontification hasn't gotten people out of cars. -
@Nightwolf42 If pop. interacts w/= probability, value of road network + metropolis rises as 4th power of end-to-end distance/time.

@NickSzabo4 The biggest design constraint on the tallest buildings is the footprint of the elevators needed. Horizontal elevators solve that -
@WorldBitcoinNet Can now cover several city blocks with building that holds 100,000 offices. Put over transit stops & nxt to pkng garage.

@NickSzabo4 Yes. Thanks for posting the article, truly eye-popping and phenomenal change in how cities can work. I'm passing it on. -

@NickSzabo4 I think key is to sharply separate last mile from busy roads, as suggested in a pattern language -
@drethelin The key to this in turn is better parking garages. Parking lots increasingly the main transition: de-uglify & make them walkable. -
@NickSzabo4 one of the decent examples is the indianapolis convention center: it has a parking garage entirely underneath a small park. -
@NickSzabo4 though I think aiming for fewer cars in general might be better in the long run, but it's certainly true parking could be better

@NickSzabo4 1/ Why does everyone think the amount of people in cities will increase as it did so far? Imho people will learn that they canThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
