The use of “justice” oriented activist language is a giveaway for this being an unserious paper. Even without that, it’s obviously one sided since it doesn’t consider the tradeoff. Cars also provide huge benefits to individuals and the economy. It’s worth it, which is why they’re popular.

arguments along these lines are false, unless they include fully worked out implimentable alternatives, which is rare. Personaly I am a commited "enviromentalist", greeny, nature boy, whatever, and have gone deep and wide only to find a huge amount of finger pointing, wouldn't it be niceism, political leveraging, etc, etc, and very very little pragmatism and civil engineering.
