    Good enough absolutely can be the enemy of perfect. For example if you care about the environment getting rid of cars is one of the most important things that can be done. Electric cars just make it harder for cars to be eliminated.

      That’s black and white thinking and a common pitfall of internet ideologies that aren’t actionable.

      If you want people to get rid of cars, you first need better zoning laws, higher density living, more mixed use development, accessible public transit, and better cycling lanes and bike parking, and more.

      Saying ‘just get rid of cars’ isn’t grounded in the reality of how inaccessible places are in countries with car dependency and shit urban planning.
