Which also leads to a common problem when building public infra - some people just won’t let go of their home, no matter what.

A lot of the car infrastructure we have, at least in the US, was from taking people's homes. Often black people. So there's precedent.

Also there's a part pointed out in The Power Broker about how one of the highways Robert Moses built takes a really inefficient path to avoid a rich person's house. This has collectively cost commuters millions of minutes since it was built. (I think it's like an extra 30 minutes to go around the estate, for each driver, for decades)

I don’t know how to fully express myself appropriately - freedom. It’s freedom to go anywhere,

A car feels like the opposite of freedom to me. It's a ball and chain. Everywhere i go I have to park it. I have to fuel it. Insure it. Take it for maintainence. If I'm drinking I can't even use it safely. It's a constant burden.

Now I just get on the train. Read a little or play a game on my phone. Show up at the place. Have a good time. Then back on the train. No parking. No fuel. No traffic stress. Freedom.

No policy can stop me from moving in a car.

Road blockades? Toll roads? Traffic?
