If you remove car infrastructure in SF, for example, there are massive amounts of the city that will die because they lack adequate public transit options.
You remove mobility, and you remove any hope for underserved communities to survive, let alone improve.
Instead, you could advocate for MORE mobility via better public transportation. But you don't for some reason that I may never understand.
No they wouldn't. They would take to the polls and vote in a city council that would reverse whatever sort of plans you think would be implemented. A lot of people seem to think that they will just be able to force a majority of people to join them in bike heaven on the other side of sweeping infrastructure changes but there are far too many people who aren't interested in it and won't let it happen. Car driving and the things it enables are valued much higher by a much bigger proportion of the population that many people seem to want to believe.
Ah yes the progressive strategy: make lives miserable for people to force them to adopt your worldview. The only thing it seems to do successfully is lose them elections.
I mean this is basically all politics - who should suffer and how much to keep society running. I don't think you'll find a progressive monopoly on that
Because it's the actual solution.
> you can't just remove car infrastructure and hope people adapt.
You don't have to hope. They will adapt.
