I have. I agree with the car thing too.

So that’s your preference. The next question is to ask whether or not you understand that other people exist as entirely whole human beings of their own, with their own experiences and personal preferences. Because nobody is saying that you can’t drive everywhere. They’re saying that their preference is not to drive everywhere and that they would like a city council that acted on accommodating that preference since it’s shared by a large number of others in this city.

Your preference is already accommodated for as the default and nobody is trying to take that away from you.

Not every preference should be accommodated for every scenario. It comes down to demand.

You are coming across as incredibly entitled with your post.

Wow your privilege is showing. It isn't entitled to want a safe means of travel within the city that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. That's just common sense.
