Being scared of change and using that fear to squash change is counterproductive. Closing streets to traffic creates more pedestrian traffic. You know who buys things right? People. Cars don't have autonomy to make purchases.
I hate really car-centric areas, it makes it so much harder to get to places I want to go to. Sometimes I'll go somewhere that costs more outside the city just to avoid trying to find parking in the city. If they just had me park outside the city and hop on a simple transit system to where I had to go then I'd be in the city a lot more often.
I walk my dogs through my neighborhood where the two lane speed limit is 30 mph. Street traffic is so loud at 30 mph that you cannot have a conversation with a friend with frequent traffic. Fuck cars! I don't want to have headphones jammed into my ears to noise cancel traffic. I want to hear the birds and neighborhood dogs, and the sound of the wind on the trees. Fuck cars!
