Somehow my parents managed to raise me without any SUVs.

  Not saying you need the above, but you’ll feel like you do. It’s certainly the easier way

    Addressing the hypothetical person you’re describing: car infrastructure may solve some needs, but it is in direct conflict with other needs. Give every adult a guaranteed parking space just at home and at work, and the physical space required for that alone is an unbelievable double-digit percentage of the city area. Cities are so valuable because they pack a lot of amenities and markets (including your family’s schools and workplaces) in a compact area. Place everything significantly further apart, add more concrete and noise, and you’ve lost on all fronts: safety, charm and efficiency.

      > car infrastructure may solve some needs, but it is in direct conflict with other needs True for all infrastructure choices > the physical space required for that alone is an unbelievable double-digit percentage of the city area True, and I do miss big city life, but all the major cities have been captured by anti-development fanatics of a particular political bent vehemently opposed to me, people like me, and our priorities. Conclusion: double-garage areas work best for my mix of requirements.
