Every once in a while, it's fair to dream about a more perfect city. I dreamed of a quiet, clean, friendly version of Jerusalem today as I walked down King David street during rush hour. Rush hour turns King David Street into an inescapable mess for cars. But the drivers seem to think that constant honking will somehow make the traffic move. Here are some ideas I had about how to improve this situation 
Step 1.
Institute a fine for honking. This will instantly make life better for everyone except taxi drivers (sorry people, but you are either part of the problem or part of the solution). The money collected from this (a lot!) will be used to... Step 2.
Hire the team of researchers that worked to improve New York city Traffic patterns. Now that Jerusalem is quieter and less traffic-filled, more tourists will come to Jerusalem. Taxes collected from the money they spend on hotels will be used to.... Step 3.
Hire more traffic cops who will fine cars for reckless driving. The money collected from this will be used to...Step 4.
Fund a public relations campaign to get people to stop littering. The increased number of traffic cops will also fine people for littering. The money from this will be used to... Step 5.
Build more green spaces in Jerusalem, and create a pilot program to green the city.
