The war on cars, 1970

Eric Fischer comments on this ad for Motorists United, from Car Life, July, 1970: “It's…[a]lso interesting that their anxieties were all about regulation of the vehicles themselves rather than allocation of street space or availability of parking.”

Rifling through the online comments on most newspaper articles today, nearly 42 years later, about congestion pricing, nothing has changed. “...anxieties are all about the evil government tracking monster rather than allocation of street space or availability of parking.” Sanity be damned. F-R-E-E-D-O-M!
