Changing that is the entire goal of the "anti-car" crowd, right? They want city-planers to build neighborhoods that are walkable, accessible by public transport and don't require owning a car. And they want them everywhere, for everyone.

The anti-car crowd has in the US has that new convert zeal. If you poke them enough, a lot will say that no one anywhere should be allowed to own a car. Not that are cities aren't horribly car centric though, but I don't think we should empty out the countryside to get rid of cars.

I'm deep in the anti-car crowd and virtually _nobody_ says that.

We definitely want them available to everyone! strongtowns.org/ were at the forefront of this and they're not even "anti-car" really, just "anti-forced-car". It shouldn't be illegal to open a restaurant without a bunch of parking around it, etc.
