A big problem with car-heavy streets is everyone’s safety when the elderly are driving on them.

It’s also shown that if people live in walkable neighborhoods, they get more exercise and can get used to movement even in old age.

I literally see the struggle of the people I talked about everyday. In a walkable city with public transportation.

Criticising aspects of public transport also doesn't mean I am against it or pro cars.
