And how about those who live there? Are they to be denied owning
a car?


Do they need one? Try public transport (at least in London).


The obvious retort to that is if you need a car because of where
you live, move. Makes as much sense as you've done.


Not too much sense on here so far; many would walk/cycle/use public
transport if those alternatives were suitable. Where we are bus
routes are being cut so such alternatives are limited - city
dwellers tend to have more choice. And that's where the pollution
problems tend to be.
