I’m not hateful. The bus stop is never more than a short walk away. If you need a car to go 100 feet, then you shouldn’t be living alone. Do you think every disabled person is stupid? I’m not going to choose an apartment up 3 flights of stairs on the other end of the block from the bus stop. I’m going to use the ADA apartment on the ground floor that is a shorter walk to the bus stop than half the parking lot. If I need to get somewhere that I can’t access with public transportation without excessive walking, I’ll drive or get my fiancee to drive me. I’m sorry you think I’m hateful for sharing my own lived experience. That’s on you for lack of comprehension, not me.
Edit: And again, I USE CARS. I will continue to use cars when necessary. An increase in walkable cities and good public transportation means the roads will be more free for those that need them! It’s just an all around win, even if you absolutely need a car for any form of transport for some odd reason (even those that require a wheelchair use public transport over cars in most cities that have good transportation, because the infrastructure is built with us in mind).
You. Don’t. Have. To. Use your car! It’s not being taken away! You will have EASIER access to the roads with less people on them. I’m genuinely dumbfounded by your inability to understand this, or your apparent belief that disabled people either don’t live in or don’t use public transportation in places that have great transport. Seriously. You’re fighting ghosts here with how off the mark you are.
I’m convinced he’s unable to actually read anything we’re saying. He’s projecting that we are the ones being hateful. But he’s blinded by his own hate. It’s really sad to see. No one is taking his car away. I don’t understand how providing multiple forms of mobility is a bad thing. But he believes that car is the only one.
You can’t reach a person that’s unwilling to read and comprehend what is being said. He’s being contrarian to be contrarian. I hope he gets help, but seeing how he contracts himself, he’s delusional enough that he thinks he’s justified in being an ass. You’ll be unable to have any productive conversation with this individual. But it is truly a sight to behold.
