Common American reply. It's turned into "freedom".
Public transit can easily be 1st class transit with freedom, as long as it's prioritized as such. When transit has to fight with vehicles, it's strictly worse, and discourages usage.... Unless you're in the poverty class and have to.
Roads are high speed infrastructure to get from 1 area to the next. We call them highways and interstates. WE NEED THOSE.
Streets are the downtown, slow speed where human scale stuff happens. It's also where transit should be. These are also needed.
Those 2 or 4 lane highish speed abominations where businesses are loosely connected by asphalt oceans are "stroads". They do both a street and a road terribly, induce sprawl, and are terrible for anyone not in a vehicle.
And sheesh, with your polemic, depriotizing motor vehicles doesn't cause you to lose freedom... AS LONG AS OTHER MODES OF TRANSIT ARE EASIER/BETTER.
