GGW has an interesting post up debunking the nonsense floating around some circles these days that increased focus on transit and cycling somehow represents a “war on cars”. I’ll let GGW provide its own excellent tl;dr version:
“These two pie charts, one from Transit Miami in 2009 and one from Streetsblog yesterday, tell it all… Few scream more loudly than an interest group used to getting the entire pie.”
There is no war on cars. The only war going on is one by the highway lobby against all other modes. The only people who want to take away your freedom are the people who want to require everyone to drive everywhere for everything.
