Dude if you want to be a car owner, move out to the suburbs and rot on the beltway everyday; let those of us who want to be around other people stay in the city and develop infrastructure that makes it easy and pleasant.
Car-centric infrastructure makes the world worse for everyone, but it makes it additionally worse for people with disabilities. These people may still need cars in some circumstance, but having those cars be the exception rather than the rule makes it much better.

Imagine promoting everyone owns a car in dc. I wonder if OP would change their tune when they come to realize the city is not geometrically designed for 700k people to own a car.

Imagine thinking someone not against something means they’re promoting the the opposing view

MOST PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES CAN'T DRIVE A CAR!!!

Not yelling at you bitter, its just "disabilities" are used as an excuse all the time for car simps.

yes they always use disability as a "gotcha" point when it comes to advancing their own agendas of car convenience. If they actually listened to disabled voices they'd know that the priorities are greater public access, more accessible public transit, etc. rather than an "attack on parking spaces".

Just because you use people’s realities as a gotcha moment doesn’t mean I do. This comment says more about you than me. Stop assuming my intent.

This is just not correct. Do some research.

Ok I was off by 4% for workers aged 18-64. But the fact remains that by designing cities for cars you are disadvantaging the disabled that can't drive.

You realize some people live in the city and have to get to places...outside of the city? For various reasons? Dc metro sucks lol, as someone who isn't a transplant I find it hilarious how the transplants are so adamant about certain issues lol

Never. It would be beyond frustrating and a major pain in the ass for me to not have a car while living in the city.
