Overall yes this is wonderful progress that more cities need to adopt
Most cities just can't really afford it
yeah, car infrastructure is expensive and they should just get rid of it entirely.
Fuck cars
Well, if you insist...
By replacing it with more expensive car infrastructure? That's what happened in this picture
No, by replacing it with public transportation and human-scaled spaces. Well, leaving one small part of it for service vehicles and people who absolutely need to go buy car if there is no better option.
Sure, I agree, but you do realize where the highway went in this picture, right? It's still there...

Sure, that wehicle part might as well live underground, if the country has enough money for that.
They actually can't afford not to. Walkable cities improve the economies of cities because people are actually able to get to stores on roads that would otherwise be swamped with cars. It improves health and safety as well.
