Totally agree with this. Especially in urban areas, cars shouldn't be necessary. It's easy to design transport infrastructure that improves on the current car-centric model.

I've spent time in the Netherlands and the way their towns and cities are designed makes them much nicer places to live than in other countries. Segregated bike paths and quiet streets give kids the freedom to safely explore. Shops and cafes adorn street corners. Little parks are everywhere. Plenty of people still drive, but it's rare that it's the optimal choice and even rarer that it's outright necessary.

I'd also love it if we were able to cut down on farmland and grow food in cities, and let the former farms return to their natural state. Huge national parks everywhere!
