MODERATORS
Not enough cross hatching!
"Ah, but you see, dedicating 99% of the space to cars makes sense, since 99% of traffic here is personal vehicles. Aren't I smart?"
"..."
"Ok, I agree to a temporary bike lane, but if bicycle travel doesn't increase we get rid of it immediately. It will of course be just this one street, we don't want to risk a bike network succeeding."
That's exactly how NIMBYs act, too!
"You can't expect me to fit my single car in my empty, 6 car driveway! I neeeeed on street parking!"
Except it'd arguably still be better for the car brain person to walk a little more.
Followed up quickly with a diatribe on how you're the one who isn't thinking it through.
