This attack on automobiles, and the working poor and middle-class majority who depend on them, is happening in every major city in the US under various guises, such as the "Vision Zero" program - designed to slow traffic to a crawl by getting rid of existing road surfaces for motor vehicles and replacing them with bike lanes (road diets).

Driving is a problem in major jam packed population centers such as southern CA because they've pigeonholed tens of millions into a 120x45 mile sliver between LA and San Diego.

Places like S. CA have too many people, too many cars and bet the rent it's just going to get worse and worse until they eventually force people in these regions out of the cars and or make it so expen$ive to drive that people will opt to not drive or own a car. Or people will start jumping out of windows because their commutes are taking up 35% of their day and the traffic finally turned them all into unrestrained lunatics.

However driving in most smaller towns and cities and rural areas are still fun and can be done without many issues.☺

TRUTH IS STRANGER THAN FICTION
Now cities are proposing intentionally making driving harder to force people to use transit.

When did driving become a problem that needs to be solved?
When they gave illegals licenses.
