  • Car-centric neighborhoods are bad for our health because they make it unsafe to walk as much as doctors recommend. (Urban Edge)
  • New research shows that people’s eyes are drawn to cars, but we don’t like looking at them, which means people who live in car-free cities would be happier. (Scientific American)
