    They “ban” parking lots in many parts of the cities, isn’t this nearly the same as banning cars?

      I would partially agree with such logic, but there are reasons

      • They want to encourage using bicycles or other solutions, or use the space for something more efficient.
      • Space reasons, it is easier to park lots of bicycles than cars.
      • Keep in mind that the street system in mentioned countries were always better than in the rest of the world, you just cherry-picked such examples to make your point, I get it. But you cannot apply such techniques in New York, it would require billions of money to restructure the entire city.

      I get your idea and I agree that - we should - approach similar things in all cities, but it will not happen for various reasons.
