My unfortunate blend of disabilities means that I can neither drive nor bike. I’m at my best in places with good taxis/rideshares supported by buses. Trains, light rail, and the like are nice ideas, but I have to take a cab or a bus from the station anyway, so I might as well go door-to-door in the cab. So I do want car dependence, because as we become less car dependent, we lose mobility.
Suppose it depends on where you live and disability, someone I went to school with couldn’t drive but could walk, bike or bus for free. Had to pay for the train like everyone else though.
Try having a disability that prevents you from driving and you may see just how shit car dependency is.
