  1. College campuses are made for walking. Park in a parking lot and walk to the building of your interest. Yet it is made for emergency services to get in and out of easily. Some places a car would be clunky to have in a space. In a world of ever increasing population, do as you please for the individual would get in the way of serving the whole community. An intelligently designed space to serve the whole, I would think to try our best to serve the needs of the most people.

    1. I don't believe its being done against the will of the people. If so, they can change back since we both live in democracies.
