ABSTRACT

The purpose of this chapter is to illustrate the conditions associated with the public’s place in moral ordering. In turn, it establishes “fluid criteria” for knowing when this position is fitting. This move will improve the strength of taking on the public’s place in moral ordering. Next, it continues to refine its view on balancing the needs of the many against individuals’ rights and interests. It accomplishes this goal by examining the increased presence of oversized pickup trucks on city streets. While it does not wholesale argue against their existence, it explores reasonable ways to know that they are inappropriate vehicles that take away from urban cohesion and when they are appropriate mobility options. After making this case, the chapter reveals suggestive principles for extrapolation that it provides.
