> Don't get me wrong, I'm 100% in favour of active travel and being able to live without a car. I want to see governments invest in this properly. If you follow the money, however, governments invest massively in car infrastructure, so people, unfortunately, drive cars everywhere. On the other end of it though wealthier people are designing boutique neighborhoods now. This is just one example but I understand there's similar concepts going on elsewhere: https://thehill.com/changing-america/524069-sprawling-city-gets-a-new-car-free-neighborhood/ https://thehill.com/changing-america/524069-sprawling-city-g... https://culdesac.com/ https://culdesac.com/ So maybe wealthy people wanting to live car free will push the design around more "closed" neighborhoods and limit the need for cars. Regardless I agree with you and don't really yet see a way for (American here) placing enough incentives to promote car-less neighborhoods or at least, less cars. Outside of the U.S. maybe easier to shift that. Something I've considered doing since I live in a relatively urban area is just using rental cars when I need to do a longer trip and leave getting things to delivery services when weather or time makes walking unfavorable. Which, if those things combined is less than what I currently spend on having car should get me ahead.
