If you can afford it, downtown Vancouver, BC is hostile to cars.
Parking surcharges (that specifically fund transit), just a few bridges and a couple main roads in and out of downtown.
Downtown eastside you got homeless people that give no shits and will cross the road whenever and block cars.
Downtown westside and all around downtown you have bike lanes, lots of people on bikes and many streets that you can’t continue straight unless you are on a bicycle.
Central downtown has a transit mall that only buses, taxis and local deliveries can use.
Most of all you have a Costco that you can get to easier by transit, bike or walking than you can by car.
damn, a walkable Costco is impressive. Even the Costco in Stockholm is car only.
stockholm does legitimately have a reputation for trying to be an american state, they have long been mocked for aping the worst parts of america.
stockholm has a costco lmao? how do they manage to compete with the existing dollarstore and eko stormarknad?
Yeah, it recently opened like a year or two ago in Täby. I’ve never been to dollar store, but Ica is basically just a normal supermarket, so I can see how Costco distinguishes itself in that market.
Täby isn’t really a nice place to visit if you don’t have a car, though. The bike paths are shit, and I’ve had dickheads in American trucks rev their engines at me when I bike through there. I’d be better of going to Martin och Servera than Costco if I wanted to buy in bulk.
