Of course I own a car, you need to own one to get anywhere where I live. That doesn't mean I have to support car infrastructure or be against public transit. I advocate for making public transit services more common and easier to use, and I would use public transit if my supported policies were implemented.

I honestly don't get their argument. Yes, the current situation is bad and will necessitate using cars, but isn't that the point of the post? That things could be better? That getting to the reality where cars are not as needed would be great? It's such a strange attack against people who want better public transportation infrastructure.

Most of us aren't arguing that a decrease in dependence on vehicles isn't beneficial or worth the time. We're tired of being implicitly blamed for just trying to exist in an established system. The very first words in this post are "STOP DRIVING CARS" like we have a choice or that would fix anything or that it's our responsibility to upend how we live our life for "the cause".

THAT is what pisses us off.
