Browsing social media, it’s apparent that people are quick to point out problems in the world, but what I see less often are suggestions for how to solve them. At best, I see vague ideas that might solve one issue but introduce new ones, which are rarely addressed.

Simply stopping the bad behaviour rarely is a solution in itself. The world is not that simple. Take something like drug addiction. Telling someone to just stop taking drugs is not a solution.

    Fast & frequent public transport, safe cycling infrastructure, footpaths, just putting things closer together to reduce the need for transport

      Is the issue here traffic or cars?

      Because for traffic I can see how working public transit would atleast ease of the issue, but for the anti-car sentiment I often see here I don’t view public transit as a solution. Not to every car owner atleast.

        Cars are not inherently bad, they are being utilized poorly. In dense urban areas, private cars are the worst option in terms of efficiency. However, currently in many cities it’s also the best due to city planning. This ought to change by investing into better infrastructure. In rural areas I see cars as the best option as it’s cheap and efficient there.
