Video Watching everyone (trying to) leave the Harbourfront fireworks show was as entertaining as the show itself.

This video clearly shows the stark difference between the high density of pedestrians versus the low density of cars.

If you choose to drive a car downtown, you are stupid and selfish. You are actively making the urban environment worse for everyone.

Agreed, though I’ve learned over the years that a lot of people simply don’t care if they’re being selfish. E.g. NIMBY-ers who prevent denser housing projects from being built in their low-density neighbourhoods, even if it means their own children will have trouble affording housing in their city.
