It will shock everyone I’m sure to know that the author’s Twitter feed is a firehouse of anti-car rhetoric and nothing else. This isn’t someone who wants to improve urban planning in general, it’s just someone who wants to get rid of personal vehicles.

I think a more concise explanation is just that street design impacts speed choices.

pretty decent thing to want to get rid off. How does one fix urban planning 'in general' without improving individual things in particular?

This argument sounds like: "the authors vile anti-race-condition rhetoric reveals that he wants to get rid of unsafe memory operations, rather than improving software in general"

Are they mutually exclusive?

Reducing deaths of people walking around the street seems like a no brainer way to make urban environments more friendly.
