I’m all for more walkable cities, bettering the environment, and investing in public transit (hell I ride my bike to work every single day) but we realistically cannot do that. I come from a rural area and life would be impossible there without them

I mean cars are bad but it’s not possible to completely eliminate personal transportation shits to ingrained in culture and infrastructure

personal transportation existed before the car and we were able to move fine, think walking and cycling. the issues arose when we bulldozed everything for parking lots and freeways, bloating the size of our cities and making communities navigable solely by car. the car bans come after the cities have been rebuilt for people, after the car infrastructure has been bulldozed and replaced with alternatives

yeah he’s saying currently it’s impossible or not feasible to completely remove it since it’s so engrained into the world we live in

I mean the modern safety bicycle was invented the same year as the car Before then it was mostly horses (+ carriages) , walking, and public transit (streetcars, trains, horse-buses, boats)

But yes, in the 1890s for example cars WERE invented but they were hard to produce before the model T so nobody had them. Everyone had a bike though, in fact it was the cyclists who lobbied governments to pave roads
