Can you live car-free in America? Why I ride a scooter aka vespa or moped and left car ownership in the dust.
This is the first video in a series that will compare American Urbanism V European Urbanism. Whew. Quite a lopsided contest.
When my wife and I stayed in Europe for a month, we could not help but notice the crazy amount of scooters aka vespa or moped everywhere.
Scooters have become part of the European urban lifestyle and culture. They are often associated with a sense of freedom, convenience, and a more relaxed way of commuting, appealing to individuals who prefer an alternative to traditional cars.
Where can you live in America without a car?
Many European cities have older infrastructure with narrow streets and limited parking availability. Scooters are compact and can navigate through congested traffic more easily, allowing riders to save time and avoid the challenges associated with finding parking spaces. The same can be said for many American cities like Boston, NYC, SF, DC, Philly etc. where congestion pricing will soon be a reality.
