In my opinion it’s not worth arguing over whether this is true or not. If the average person believes AV will free them from car ownership then we should take that gift and run with it to build cities that don’t cater to car ownership.

The Gordon's Fireplace building has sold for $575k, and I'd be fascinated to know who'd want it even at that price. The building is in terrible condition and the site is extremely constrained. www.kgw.com/article/news...
Portland's most notorious graffitied building sold for $575k at auction
The historic structure off Interstate 84 is hard to miss. It's covered in graffiti, and many of the windows are smashed or boarded up.

Seems like it would be very loud there. I can't hear the person next to me speaking when near that highway.
