That's a total strawman.

Suggesting that there might be a better way than today's status quo is different than saying that certain people don't deserve to exist.

The entirety of your comment was about how much cars and their associated infrastructure suck and how you wish we didn't devote space to them. That's a hell of a lot more specific than "there might be a better way," and those specifics are entirely negative toward cars.

If you actually think something more nuanced, I'm glad to hear it, but I have no idea how anyone is supposed to glean that from the comment you actually wrote

I would encourage you to read this Wikipedia article about how today's road culture came about -- in particular the section on the road lobby.
