Ditching a car would save some people $1,000/month, which would open up way more housing options for most people. Regardless of your personal feelings or preferences, people around the world are moving into cities. Making them bikable makes them more livable in many ways.

That's without even considering the quickly growing number of people on personal electric vehicles, which use the same infrastructure.

I agree more public transit would be great. Even though I don't use it often, it's a critical part of a healthy city.
