Nobody is against car owners. I own a car and drive sometimes myself. However the majority of car owners cannot follow the rules. DC issued over 1.6 MILLION tickets last year for speeding, red light running, stop sign running. That is over 5 tickets for every vehicle registered in DC. In an ideal world everyone would get along. However until car owners can generally learn to behave themselves we will have to keep taking lanes away from them to provide buffer space and protection for everyone else because car owners can’t follow basic safety rules.

People in this sub are vehemently against car owners. I’m fine with less lanes where there are more pedestrians. That makes sense. It’s the instant hate and downvotes whenever someone mentions car ownership in this subreddit that confuses me.
