externalities: pollution, congestion, accidents, land use
structural factors driving car dependence: sprawl, job distribution

equity and accessibility in transport policy

Proposing discouragement without discussing feasibility, equity, or unintended consequences
Ignoring that cars provide mobility for people with constraints (distance, disability, time sensitivity)
