I don't follow your argument. If the answer is "yes", would you accept that things need to be changed? While I can't speak for rp1, yes, there are many who are indignant that the road system is biased in favor of car manufacturers over other forms of transit. You might recall that "jaywalker" was a marketing term created by car manufacturers to shift blame to pedestrians rather than car drivers, when a driver hits a walker - https://www.vox.com/2015/1/15/7551873/jaywalking-history https://www.vox.com/2015/1/15/7551873/jaywalking-history - and those anti-jaywalking laws still exist.

Indeed, and I'd also recommend reading The High Price of Free Parking for all the ways we stupidly subsidize car culture. As a transportation activist, I'm used to drivers attempting to claim the progressive mantle by saying that a tech shuttle bus or proposed bikeshare station represents the privitization of public space, and then completely dismiss how free (that is to say, fully-subsidized) parking and cheap tolls do that to car manufacturers and owners and oil companies to a far greater extent. If OP answered yes, we could have an actual discussion. If they answered no, I'd know that further discussion was hopeless.
