    The fact car infrastructure was built in cities is usually already based on a loss for others. This is just taking it back.

      Exactly. They demolished entire historic, dense neighborhoods and displaced countless hundreds of thousands to build freeways. They took all the streets away from pedestrians and cyclists and streetcars and gave it to cars, save for a tiny sliver of sidewalk. And cars are the most space-inefficient mode of transit, mind you.

      All this is doing is reclaiming a little bit of that space back.
