You said that the reason is because they can not afford a car. But when you live in a walkable city, you do not need one. It is more of a detriment since you still need to store it somewhere and pay taxes on it, even when you don’t use it.
So yes, you were attacking being able to live in a walkable city.
You saying you live in one now just makes you look like a hypocrite.
You rather they bomb 1,000,000€ buildings and kill 1000 lives (worth infinite)?
