I beg to differ. Have you ever been in a European city? Those streets were built for horse-drawn carriages and yet they manage to be two-way. However, don't stick your arm out the window, it might be taken off by on-coming traffic! As far as parking -- they let people park in any direction, including perpendicular to the curb and up on the sidewalk! Am not advocating for that, though. Seriously folks, narrow streets are traffic calming in neighborhoods, and who wants an even bigger expanse of asphalt abutting their front lawns? That is one of my big objections to the suburbs, now that I've been living here for almost a year. All that asphalt creates a somewhat "sterile" atmosphere, I find. Sigh.
