I don't think I ever said to people to give up their cars completely for everyone.
But what I do tend to say is that our choices should not be restricted to only car. To accommodate every stage of our life. By the time we're much older an frailer,we will be unable to drive a car. So, do all of us have young people/children driving us around, or we be closer to local transit? However I agree with a line of thinking, that if a neighbourhood doesn't want transit, then don't place bus routes out there if another neighbourhood has been requesting for it. Cruel, eh? We have to set budget spending priorities. Sorry for the transit digression.
In another forum for some anti-bike lane cyclists --cyclists who don't feel a need for road bike lanes, MUPs..some realized after all, it's a cheap amenity for a building developer (commercial office or high rise residential) to provide locked communal bike storage space within the building.
1 car parking space probably could easily hold 6 bikes comfortably or more. It's a wonderful, cheap way to "sell" or lease a occupacy space for tenants or residents.
Hope this all doesn't detract from responding to the survey.
