The cities look SO MUCH nicer without cars. More open, less crowded (probably because of a much lower population, but there's way more space), and it's likely a whole lot quieter.

Not sure about air quality because they had basically no regulations on industrial pollution, but I can't imagine it would be all that bad when away from the factories.

I wish we could just get rid of cars, honestly.

Edit: I'd never thought about firemen using horse-drawn carriages to get around to fight fires, but it makes perfect sense. It's just funny to see!
