This is a false dichotomy. I didn't suggest "Everyone must give up cars", only that the world should not be designed to FORCE everyone to drive cars.

Hyperbole much? The two concepts aren't even remotely related.
> I do not understand how people can be so focused on equality as to totally ignore the average, greater good.
As if requiring cars is the greater good? It has been demonstrated in many many places that designing infrastructure which enables people to move around safely and reliably without the use of cars improves the quality of life for everyone.
