Even better than buying evs - let’s not build cities around cars and instead around people - and have reasonable transit.

The vast majority of cars sit empty, parked, for 90% of their life. They are an enormous waste.

We need to move to a norm where the average person doesn’t own a car and has no reason to.

I like your idea but rebuilding a city is harder than converting the cars to EV.

We don’t need to rebuild.

We just need to stop building giant single family suburbs.

We are actively STILL building more areas like this.

We need to zone for mixed use - not strictly residential. It does not require rebuilding. Simply fixing zoning will start to sort the problem out.
