Grandparent talks about freedom but it's only freedom for the upper and middle class. That's not freedom, that's privilege.

In cities where public transportation is expected, places you want to go tend to be clustered better, so you can walk/bike/bus/train to several things at once.

"Location location location" has to consider foot traffic.

Nonsense. Just because some people are unable to exercise their rights it doesn't mean that others should not, let alone that those rights suddenly become mere privileges.

You should try your best to improve the life of everyone around you, not drag down those who are better off just to force them into everyone's misery.
