Most people that are against car-centric cities like myself are not against cars 100% but against their level of priority in the design of our cities and societies. Many of the scenarios you mentoned aren't even that…
Not building something because it will allow poorer people to move around our cities more easily is just wrong no matter what the consequences. There are also criminals and kids who strut around and flex from rough…
