I watched this video before it showed up here. I am delighted to see it make the front page of HN (though Slaughter already has plenty of notoriety) and upvoted without saying much, because the urbanism fight is just... tiring. At least when talking to North Americans.

Maybe the urbanism fight is tiring because people realize what they would have to give up in order to achieve the urbanist vision -- especially their trucks and SUVs.

Selling a positive vision rather than shaming people and trying to take things away from them would help.

But what if the SUV is the positive vision being sold? Do SUV owners want to live in a world where they drive smaller cars?
