But to have government force you to take public transit (and allow government to have total jurisdiction over you) or walk, is a huge retrogressive move back to 19th Century transportation models.
This type of nanny-state crap is anathima to me.
I hold individual freedom in the highest regard, and banning private transportation, which is one of greatest forms of individual freedom, is diametrically opposed to my classical liberal sensibilities.

WTF.
You're talking about freaking public streets. They aren't goddamn private property, its the government's job to make sure they're used in orderly and efficient manner. And last time I checked European governments were pretty good about accommodating private transportation methods that didn't involve massive space footprints.
