> Strong Towns' ideas will make life worse for anyone who drives into the city, with basically no advantages for them, and without creating a viable alternative to driving for most of them?

TLDW: A city that is less reliant on cars actually reduces congestion and makes it more pleasant to drive in a city.

Fewer cars on the road means less competition.

Bike lanes have more capacity to move people.

Well designed intersections and bike lanes mean that you aren't competing against cyclists and pedestrians for road space you're coexisting along just fine.
