And it's a great idea, good thought. I used bicycles in cities where it was possible. But that, and public transportation, only goes so far. A personal car gives incredible freedom, especially to the poor. Suddenly they can live affordably far from work, choose better work places, do work on the side, transport luggage on the cheap. Inevitably, the only way to stop people from getting cars is to make the licensing and their cost prohibitively expensive. So they will take overcrowded trains that may not be on time, and/or live in closets or be lucky not to get into a serious accident on a bike/moped in a city not made for them. Solving battery energy density and EVs are a good compromise. But yes, you're right, cities should not be planned around cars. Imo, there should be more of them actually, but alas it seems that's a lost art and everyone's gathering in whatever big cities were made in the past couple of centuries or earlier. Genocide is a dumb example stemming from my belief that death is better than life in squalor heh. Obviously most people don't think that.
