"Just get a car" is not a solution. A (non-exhaustive) list of people for whom that doesn't work:

- Those too poor to buy a car

- Kids/early teenagers

- The elderly, past the point at which they're unfit to drive (this will be you and me someday, if we're lucky enough to live that long)

- Those with disabilities precluding them from driving

If we design our cities such that driving a car is the only safe way of getting around, what we're doing is making all of these people dependent on others to get around. Even if they're physically capable enough to bike or ride a mobility scooter to where they need to go!
