   Singapore has the potential to be the first country to eliminate the private ownership of vehicles.

      Why is this something to be celebrated? Private ownership of land, property too ?

         Because privately owned vehicles kill literally one million people every year.

            In Singapore we don't have all that many fatal car accidents.

            More of the damage comes from all of the ways we arrange our lives so that we don't get hit by cars. Eg we don't let the kids out to play in the streets anymore.
