Animation Explains How Bad Planning Makes Car Ownership Compulsory
This is a pretty great animation explaining how American cities were undermined by a slavish dedication to storing and moving cars. It’s by comedian Adam Conover from TruTV’s “Adam Ruins Everything,” who also made this great video explaining the screwed up origin of the word “jaywalking.”
The best part may be the animated version of parking guru Donald Shoup, author of “The High Cost of Free Parking.”
Television comedians preaching urbanism? We hope this is part of a trend.
