Maybe people just in general are opposed to removing car infrastructure and it is not some anti-democratic plot against your views?
It's kind of sad that everyone thinks the person responding to them is a bit nowadays. In the vast majority of cases where I have looked into it, the person is not a "shill", but it is a convenient way to shy away from the actual arguments they are making.
Unfortunately, that convenient method is not welcome here at HN. Reread the HN guidelines.
I'm saying people repeating talking points from industry without realizing it, or having really considered them in any serious way. This extends to offline conversations with family / friends so it's not about shills.
