you’re right, but the solution is not to give everyone the inalienable right to drive, it’s to redesign the city such that people who can’t drive can still live in it fully (i.e. build public transit and walkable/cyclable path of ways)

    the solution is not to give everyone the inalienable right to drive

    It's not a question of "solution" writ large. It's a recognition of existing infrastructure and the consequences of denying a subset of the population its use.

    redesign the city such that people who can’t drive

    Sure. Love that idea.

    But, in the meantime, if you've dropped 40 miles of concrete through my neighborhood, such that I need a vehicle to get across it...

    "We should build more pedestrian friendly infrastructure" is very different than "ban a subset of bad drivers and let them pound sand about it"
