That sounds like the best place to start: cars are the most expensive form of transportation, an order of magnitude greater emissions (even EVs), and have massive negative externalities affecting the surrounding communities regardless of power source. If you haven’t made the mistake of building your society around them, it’s much cheaper not to start and then need to deal with the painful disruption of redesigning your transportation network in a decade.

> cars are the most expensive form of transportation

I think you'll find private jets are more expensive than cars. Worse in every regard to your other points as well.

Jets are still permitted. So your points can't be the reason as if it was you'd also ban private air travel.

I didn’t think that we needed to spell out the context of ground transportation since that’s what the article is about, but sure.
