Correct, I've no sympathy for someone in the same unfortunate class of predicament as myself who weaponizes that class as a means to justify continuing to make the same societal mistakes that are exacerbating the current extent of their suffering and also condemning to that extent of suffering all other people who may one day find themselves a member of that class.
If you think its mere lack of empathy, you're mistaken.
Dismissing public transit as a solution, as a paradigm for urban planning, because you are disabled... its the same as a farmer voting MAGA, its shooting yourself in the balls out of misplaced grievance.
A city designed with walkability and public transit in mind is going to be easier for disabled cripples like myself to get around in, as it also will be for everyone who doesn't have a car.
More transit options = less and safer road traffic = better service for paratransit vehicles, safer driving for those disabled but capable of driving a car.
More walkability means those who need a cane, crutches, leg braces, prosthetic limbs, a wheel chair, power scooter, the blind with a walking/sensing stick... they're gonna have an easier time getting around than if sidewalks barely exist and its a half mile between two intersections, with no benches or shade.
You don't seem to know what a No True Scotsman fallacy is, so I'd also argue that you're the one being more 'reddit' here, throwing around accusations you don't even understand.
They said they live in an area that doesn't get school bus service when it snows. Pretty reasonable inference that that means they live in a remote area.
The entire topic of the thread is 'urban design'..The entire point I am making is that living out in the middle of nowhere, in a spread out, low density design schema or paradigm... that is the problem that makes public transit unfeasible.
And yeah, being crippled is always going to reduce your mobility. Having walkable, more dense cities/towns that have good public transit will somewhat, but never wholly alleviate this. Neither will any amount of mandated extra lanes and parking stalls wholly alleviate you or me or anyone else being crippled.
Walkable City + Working Public Transit != suddenly all private cars and all roads stop existing.
