Bus. Tram. Subway. Train. And yes, I do drive if necessary. Walkable does not mean walking is mandatory, and a huge part of the push for a decrease in car only infrastructure is the increase in public transportation. The idea isn’t to remove the ability for cars to exist, but to make other forms of transportation accessible and possible, and make reliance on cars a thing of the past. I don’t know why you’ve got it so wrapped up in your head that cars are going to vanish and we will only be walking, as if there aren’t dozens of other forms of transportation accessible for those of us with disabilities. The time I’ve spent living in places with good public transportation is the most independence and self determination I’ve experienced. I’m not lying, you’re just disingenuous, stupid, or misinformed.
There’s a bus stop near me that you can’t get past when people are waiting because the pavement is so narrow. It’s narrow because there’s parking on the other side of the road. Getting past it is the only way to get to the accessible entrance of the local hotel & bar. No hope if you’re on wheels - the kerb is also really high. Carbrain is a terrible disease.
