Hoboken, New Jersey, recently marked seven consecutive years without a traffic death. Officials there credit their decision to take away some street parking, a change that increases visibility for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians.

Or increase public transit so that people don't need to drive?

I’ve used the best public transit in the US, I have zero faith that would work out well

we need a massive design overhall as well and nonidea how’d we do that in an existing city

Stockholm tunneled under their 500-year-old city for a subway system. 500 years is older than America.

It could go very well.
