The problem with c/fuckcars is that a lot of people there aren’t people wanting public transit and pedestrian/bike infrastructure, but normies that simple mindedly complain about cars. I’m willing to bet that ~20% of them are there because they hate the cars that get them stuck in traffic, but don’t care about driving their own car.
I want de-car’ed urban areas, spoke and hub suburban areas, and strong protections for cyclists and pedestrians everywhere (via systemic design…barriers, planters, other routes, etc)
I recognize cars will exist to get people around for many decades to come, and in huge, huge swathes of the word and even america, there will never be sufficient public transport because there is simply too much space to be serviced for too few riders.
I want people to be freed from needing a car in many cases, especially office commuting, urban travel, etc

And moderates like me can’t get a toe hold there.
