These bad faith arguments are tiring.
Roads and streets existed before cars. Even then, that ignores that the same location can be traveled to through different means. Goods can be delivered to a store by a van even if most customers arrive on foot or by public transportation.
There are streets within north America which ban passenger vehicles but still allow trucks and vans for deliveries.
You can still stock supermarkets, etc, with larger vehicles that only run once a day or every few days depending on demand, etc.
It's common in places other than the US with it's hyper car centric development to have more walkable spaces.
