On top of the potential physical impossibility of pushing a wheel chair through snow, they might literally die on their way to their doctor’s appointment.
If they are so frail that they won't survive a trip to the nearest bus stop they should take an ambulance to the hospital for hospice care.
Again, how are you getting through a snow storm? Or a rain storm? Is your load of thousands of dollars worth of power tools going to be fine sitting in a bike trailer in extreme weather?
If the weather is that inclement, chances are that their oh-so-important hockey practice will be canceled that day. Or they can learn a little bit of gumption, if appropriate.
Bruh, tell me where I said that.
You didn't. I was presenting a common example of today's car culture.
Cities still need to be designed to be able to support cars
Did I say the opposite? But today's car infrastructure is far more extensive than it needs to be. People don't need a car to commute, they choose a car for their convenience at the cost of everybody else's.
I live in a car-infested neighborhood where ironically most people don't have a car -- the constant traffic is largely produced by the suburbanites that come here, ironically to save themselves from the traffic that the suburbanites are causing. And I'm furious that we suffer their convenience day and night, when we shouldn't have to.
Our streets should serve the people living in them, rather than being designed to maximize the speed and convenience of the people driving through.
