Adults need it too. Why is locomotion considered something only a child would do? Walking should be a human right. People should be able to walk and not regress

Adults need it too. Why is locomotion considered something only a child would do? Walking should be a human right. People should be able to walk and not regress into blobs that need wheelchairs to get around.
Cars are awful. The only way to get away from them is to get a car yourself. And even then you've you too get a big one because everyone now has a bigger car than you. Oh and don't forget insanely powerful or you're never going to win your way on to a roundabout. It's a race to the bottom.
We need to take back our living places from cars. Why do people need to drive right up to their houses every day? Put car parks out of town and ban cars from towns. Imagine how much more space we'd have. Let people drive in at 15mph to drop stuff off at their houses, but it gets parked out of town. Use a bicycle to access your car when you need it.
Unfortunately you just can't take a single thing away from people. Literally everyone will tell you they hate cars. They hate the noise and the pollution. They'll tell you it's the number one reason they don't cycle anywhere. But take away their car?! Never!
- VS1999 3y agoYou can't guarantee positive human rights as vague as walking, especially when public opinion is against you. It's unproductive and meaningless to people who aren't already on your side enough to know what something as bizarre as "walking should be a human right" means.
