I know this is well-intended, but "what about the disabled?" has become almost a canard for suggesting the status-quo is ideal for disabled people. It's absolutely not. Virtually every suggestion this author made would benefit disabled people. Denser/walkable cities aren't just good for walkers. They're easier to traverse in wheelchairs, crutches, etc, too. A 2+-ton, 100+hp vehicle capable of going 150+mph is not the best way to transport a disabled person. It's just what we have available, given our current city layouts. We can do better.
