   Reminding leftists once again that their car free walkable utopian ideals are ableist and exclusionary, and that they need to:
   a) prioritize accessibility, not walkability;
   b) listen to disabled people;
   c) think inclusively rather than starting from a premise that removes some people from their vision;
   d) listen to disabled people;
   e) listen to disabled people.

     Likewise, enthusiasm for public transit MUST come with enthusiasm for clean, working elevators-- I live in NYC there are still subway stations that aren't wheelchair accessible. This is a livable streets issue on equal footing with any other--

     @amaditalks I disagree with your basic premise. I've never seen any plans for liveable cities that exclude or limit access for the disabled. If anything, such 'utopian' ideals are far more likely to include enhanced access. And why the 'leftist' snark? You're tilting at the wrong windmill - the RW petrolheads are over there.
