It finished with saying that cities in California and New York were "fast tracking" LSVs to slow traffic down.
Why? Safer?---I doubt it in heavy traffic. Billions to change road lanes and parking spaces? Let me guess----"electric carts" only? That way the government can cram their "global warming" agenda down our throats. Add to that the cost of 10-14K each, Yamaha and EZ Go are licking their chops. Cost of garage space in a big city?--$500+/month. The vast majority of inner city residents won't be able to afford it. Easy to steal, easy to "carjack"---the "bad guys" will love it, and the "good guys" aren't allowed to have CCPs.
Golf carts on a golf course and a community that primarily is residential and surrounds those courses are great. Wouldn't want to drive one thru the south side of Chicago or Bed-Sty. Another brilliant idea from the rocket scientist politicians and urban planners.
