Around indianapolis, bike lanes are popping up everywhere, but that is only so much faster than walking, and at a certain point it is ineffective (at least for the lazy people who make up the majority of this nation). I want to design a city one day, almost like sim city, and i want to accommodate the non driver. I almost want to force people not to drive in this city. instead of monopolizing super-centers i want their to be local grocers every couple of miles for the average walker to get to.

City
Cities have the most peculiar layout. I heard from the grapevine somewhere along the way that the design of a city was meant for people to have cars. The more i think about it the more i think its true. Unless you live right next to where you need to go, you need a car or some form of automotive transportation. There are defined sections of the cite that are meant for living, and then far away there are parts of the city meant for shopping. even more, they way of the convenient store is going out of style. It is either go big (SUPER K) or nothing at all. The advancement of these super shopping centers creates an ever present need to have a car.
