    That’s why anti-car people also advocate for better urban planning that still include cars but don’t make them the only viable option. And why can’t it be? America has the money.

    The other side of this is the fact that many people do want to use public transport. I’ve driven in some excellent cars, I hate other drivers and don’t want to drive with them and I hate how ugly my city/ suburb is due to needing to have wide roads everywhere.

      Great, just please don’t force your preferences on someone else.

        Mah dude, car people has been and always will be forcing their preferences on everyone. That’s the reason why a shit tons of place is so car dependent. This isn’t forcing preferences, this is regaining control.
