I do agree that we can optimize for the cities, but the general attitude towards the people who are going to be worst affected by the ban of ICEs is to look down at them and laugh - as Colbert exclaimed, "I don't care if gas goes to $15 a gallon, because I drive a Tesla!" That's not a healthy approach (and note, I'm not accusing you of doing this, I'm just explaining the way this issue is being approached by the upper class at large). 15% of the US is about 50,000,000 people. To reduce the fraction, that's 3 in 20 Americans. That's a lot of people to just hand-wave away and leave behind. These are people, not dinosaurs. They also control our food supply. I think it's in our best interest to account for them in our plan for the future, and treat them well.
