And plumbers ain't going to take the bus.

As someone who used to do HVAC install and maintenance I tried explaining this to an urban office worker when it came to shutting down and making pedestrian only streets. She expected me to carry a kilometers worth of sheet metal for ducts and elbows and a km or so of copper tubing for refrigerant lines in little carts from the parking area, also coincidentally in my one example 2km to the building where we redid a bunch of refrigerators in a supermarket.

If I had to walk I'd be charging a km walking fee for every copper tubing, ducting, and appliance I had to hand carry in. Hell, I'd like to ad I'm not even against walk only areas with exceptions for public transit and commercial vehicles. The one I spoke to didn't want anything but bikes and carts.

And then the urbanites wonder why bread skyrockets to $8 a loaf.
