    You really don’t need new fridges that often, the couple times you do just put them on boards on casters and shove. If you can’t: ask your neighbors, it’s a good bonding experience.

      What about garbage disposal.

      You going to pull that around on casters as well?

        Gee I wonder how the pedestrian-only streets in Denmark are doing it? I guess they aren’t and are full of trash.

        Stop conflating private car owner-ship with municipal service vehicles.

            It’s not just one street, though. It’s a series of connected streets. They’re actually quite comparable to superblocks in Aarhus, Copenhagen and Aalborg.
