Tearing up all our cities and rebuilding them is way more wasteful that battery powered cars. This is not a switch you can just flip overnight. It is not something that can be done in the timeframe it would be needed.

I just want busses. That tears up nothing.
I just want bollards protecting pedestrian and bike traffic. That tears up nothing.
I want passenger trains between cities where there’s already railing. That tears up nothing.
Is this honestly a bigger ask than a decade long rebuild of an interstate that will need another widening in 5 years after?
