Just got me thinking about how much an area would attract residents if it could advertise the savings they'd make from living there as compared to anywhere 'normal'.

No car = no on-going petrol / diesel costs.

Fewer cars = cleaner / healthier air. Quieter, more serene ... everything.

Cleaner / Healthier air = Fewer health issues.

Fewer cars = more bikes

More bikes = physically healthier people.

Good planning is worth its weight in gold. I fear I'm stumbling into utopia theory, which is fraught with forgetting a whole lot of other realities.
