I'm not sure I see the comparison. There are plenty of similarly priced alternatives to barbecue scrapers that work just as well while not being as dangerous. What are the alternatives to cars?

Planning that favors alternative modes such as walking, bicycling, and public transit.

  Does Amazon sell those? I can't find and planning that favors alternative modes in my local shopping district.

  "Planning" is not a product that a consumer can buy, and even then walking, bicycling, and public transit are most useful when you live in a densely packed area and aren't too concerned about traveling outside it. Plus, I was being contrary to what my parent said about the dangers of cars. Aren't bicycles more dangerous?

  Swapping out a component is vastly less complex than swapping out an entire system. I'd love to see high-density, walkable, transitable, low-distance development in more places. That would mean rebuilding the entire urban landscape, rewrites of layers upon layers of building codes and obligations, a writeoff of a vast amount of equity within the financial system, changing patterns of habits and desires, and more. You're involving every suburban homeowner everywhere, every city, county, state/provincial, and national government. The real estate lobby. Banks. Builders. Building suppliers. Architects. Good luck with that. Vs. outlawing a brush. This is pretty much an exemplar case of the difference between simple and complex problems.

  Walking, bicycling, or public transit aren't alternatives for loading a desk and two chairs on the back seats and a couple backpacks & bags with clothes plus 50kg of hardware in the trunk... which I did just yesterday. Cars don't exist just to transport our bodies.

You can buy them in every single hardware store. Even if you banned bbq specific ones, they would still be readily available.
