You're basically saying that you want to force everyone to live in a city - a super dense developed area where all your daily needs are within walking distance. Not everyone wants to live in a city!

it is possible to live in the country, with all of your daily needs within walking distance.

what will become impossible is the current fad of living in the "country" with a city lifestyle.

People are free to live where they want, but should pay for the full externalities that these lifestyles cost.

No, it's not what I said. Keep the car out in the country.

I wrote safe mobility options for all, so active modes of transportation are a viable alternative to the car. That applies both to the city and the country.

To make walking and biking safe, the implementation will be largely low-tech. Trees, bollards.

It's not EVs (high tech) that will trigger the transformation to curb pollution. It will be people choosing to walk and bike iso choosing to the drive.
