Of course the real problem is overpopulation - from 1.5b in 1890 to 7.8b today - a five-fold increase in 130 years. Perfect for pandemics.

I agree: Nineteenth century photos are charming. Of course what doesn’t 
register is the raw sewage coursing through the streets, the mountains of horse

Whenever I see photos from that period I can’t help noticing how beautiful the 
towns look without motor vehicles and all the accompanying street furniture 
they bring with them, and also how people make use of the public space which 
cars now dominate.
