@bikepedantic For most people driving is objectively antisocial; for most people it is more convenient than walking, biking, or transit, and they obtain their convenience at extra risk, pollution, noise, and inconvenience for everyone else. Handy-for-me-sucks-for-thee is textbook antisocial, and that (for most people) is what driving is.
And, of course, weasel words for the disabled grandmother driving her hockey team to a cancer appointment in a blizzard, how can she do that without a car?
@bikepedantic sounds like a powerful narrative argument, hope you change some minds!
@bikepedantic Have you recruited your neighbors to speak? 😁
@itamarst sending emails today!
@bikepedantic I'm not qualified to rant on account living elsewhere, plus I am not sure my rants will change minds. Somehow or another people need to learn that they are bad at counting cars, and a few parking spaces looks like many more cars/people than it really is.
Or they need to see that if they are spending scarce street space on zero-mph-zero-occupancy vehicles, they cannot possibly, actually, have a traffic problem.
Or that they'll never reduce driving by asking nicely.
