    zero sum in that there is limited amount of space… so space from something but be subtracted in order to add it to the space of something else….
    it’s not a metaphor, it’s about the total being the same. it’s mathematical and squarely fits the definition of zero sum.

      That accepts the framing that we’re designing for cars/bikes/peds. We’re not. We’re designing for people, whether they’re in a car, on a bike, etc.

      In that sense it’s very much not zero-sum.

        what? no it doesn’t, and yeah people need some sort of transportation and the city will have limited space to accommodate all of those.
        so in that sense: zero sum.
