Choices. What will it be, Toronto?

A typical European car is parked 92% of the time. It spends 1/5th of its driving time looking for parking. Its 5 seats only move 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, & most of the energy that does, moves the car, not people. Sound efficient? HT Ellen MacArthur Foundation

What conditions make it possible to forgo a car? 1) sufficient density so that at least some everyday things can be done within walking distance of home (getting to school, grabbing a coffee, doing groceries), 2) access to high frequency transit for the commute + longer trips
