MODERATORS
I kind of disagree but kind of don't. I think most of modern urbanists don't want cars banned, they just don't want it to be the only practical way to get around.
Also, I'm a big gearhead. I like driving and working on cars. But I don't like commuting in traffic, paying to keep a car out of necessity, finding parking, breakdowns. I feel so liberated and free when driving on a mountain road with the top down. I feel similarly free when I get drunk and walk home, get groceries on my bike, or read a book on the bus. I don't think public transit is right for everyone. But I think having it as a good option alongside driving, walking, and cycling is just good city planning.
