But I'm not talking about people living next to an airport. Airports are like highways, you can't get rid of them, they chose to live there or the airport chose to move there, like you said.
I'm talking about mobility options. In my hometown you had one option and that was the car, taxi, carpool, with the last two options never used. Here in Vancouver depending on where you are living you have the train (westcoast), a ferry (seabus), car, walk, bus, bike, skytrain, taxi
1 option with 2 small unrealistic options never used
to
7 options of movement.
Vancouver is a more mobile, less unrestricted city and region than where I grew up. That is what I'm saying. In terms of mobility, Vancouver is not oppressed. And they're working on to make the area even more mobile. Canada Line, a line to UBC eventually, a line to PoCo, eventually they'll expand Expo to Langley. I'll probably see a line from Surrey Central to White Rock in my lifetime due to population growth and I'll see some sort of skytrain like vehicle on the North Shore and trolleys will make their return to Downtown Vancouver.
What does St. Louis have? highways to help their only one option of mobility cars. If you don't have a car, you are stuck out of luck and oppressed by your own surroundings of being a car dominated society.
