Sure, if all they do is go to work or places on a bus line--and don't mind it always taking 2-3x longer to get anywhere. Don't get me wrong, I'm all about transit, but transit doesn't get you everywhere and it doesn't run all the time--and sometimes it breaks down or is full at awkward moments.
Kind of a chicken and egg thing though right - we need to encourage transit use, better services, etc. so either the city has to commit pre-demand (unlikely) or we build things that create demand and the city responds
It's a strategy, but I don't think you can--or even should--do away with personal vehicles entirely. They provide a level of utility and personal freedom that shouldn't be the exclusive purview of homeowners with garages. There's a middle ground to be found somewhere IMO.
So don’t move in there and let people who do want that live their life? They didn’t outlaw cars here.
