Yea so you just go do those things. I'm not sure what this has to do with driving or commuting to a job on the highway?
How do you do those things without driving? Are you assuming everyone has access to effective and efficient public transportation?

No.... I'm assuming we build that and design cities to be walkable and bike-able instead of just optimizing for car traffic.

We can just build effective and efficient public transportation, maintain some of our current roads (so you can still have a car) and build cities and towns to be walkable and bike-able.

Idk. How do people all over the world do it today?

> How do you do those things without driving?

I typically walk. I take buses or trains if I need to go further than walking distance, which is fairly rare.

That's usually what you'd build to get rid of cars, yes.

Have you ever lived outside a major city before, ie. a town of <200k?
