As a FuckCars fan I actually like the frame of mind he takes in the video and he might have convinced me that instead of just saying fuck cars we should be demanding local/neighborhood services so we aren’t all driving to the same space for food/services/entertainment/etc
It is certainly a much more agreeable position. I cant stand for the “fuck cars” mindset myself even though I hate driving, but I’m all for more local services. Having things in walking/cycling distance is way better than banning cars. It is the difference between giving something and taking it away.
I don’t prefer cars but trying to travel with 2 small kids and a dog and my partner has made me realize some lifestyle require cars at least for some trips.
That said I still try to walk every day. I’m within walking distance to a store and a park so that means I rarely have to use the car in those cases. I have to agree with your conclusion. Get services closer to residents. Still support cars but far far less.
