      yeah, car infrastructure is expensive and they should just get rid of it entirely.

          No, by replacing it with public transportation and human-scaled spaces. Well, leaving one small part of it for service vehicles and people who absolutely need to go buy car if there is no better option.

              Sure, that wehicle part might as well live underground, if the country has enough money for that.

      They actually can’t afford not to. Walkable cities improve the economies of cities because people are actually able to get to stores on roads that would otherwise be swamped with cars. It improves health and safety as well.
