Then remove cars from city centers, they're an aberration in every single way
> They fundamentally don't understand the fact that people have friends, families, jobs, hobbies, etc that exist outside of the metro network.
Cool, most cars are parked 95% of their lives, taking useful space for no good reason
> The idea that people might actually enjoy driving is not only something they don't understand but actively detest.
Some people actually enjoy meth too
> It's not good enough to them that all of the roads around me are deliberately rate limited or blocked off so that I can't travel around my own neighbourhood.
It's already the case in any dense city center, I commute faster by bike or pubtrans than by car for anything shorter than 10km
> It has to be trains. I need to share with others. I need to take my bloody jacket to the bathroom with me. I need to lock everything down in case some scrote steals it whilst I'm distracted. Oh yeah, I also have to pay 50% more for that privilege.
If we start making up arguments like these we can play all day. I've recently crossed germany for 17 euros, nothing was stolen even though I slept a good 4 hours with multiple toilet trips.

Wow look at Mr. big adult manly man with his own personal vehicle. I bet they even eat veggies, what are they ? 6 ?
You want the same thing as everyone else, going from A to B efficiently and cheaply, and in many case a personal car isn't the most efficient nor cheap tool for that. The problem is that in a car centric city everything is designed to be hostile to anyone but cars, couple that with the auto industry propaganda and we get people like you
Just run the maths, 1.4B personal vehicles on earth (it's not going anywhere but up btw), fully electric or running on pure lignite you end up facing the same issues. So yeah we get it, you like moving 3 tonnes of metal to go to walmart and see your friends, that's fine, but you have to understand it's not efficient or clean or sustainable
