Allow me to make a bit of a clarification. City people--ACTUAL city people--do NOT hate cars. New York City NATIVES do NOT hate cars. Baltimore City natives like myself do NOT hate cars. People drive within New York City all the time. Transit workers, cops, firefighters, and paramedics ABSOLUTELY drive cars in the city. Doctors and nurses/CNPs have their own license plates to apply for and use on their personal vehicles here in NY. Even in neighborhoods in NYC that are well-served by the subway and/or commuter rail in the suburbs, there are people who will still drive to the parking lots at the stations, or somewhere close to a train station (like where I filmed earlier). The automobile is STILL considered aspirational and necessary in NYC...by people who are ACTUALLY New Yorkers. The ones who pretend to hate cars are downwardly mobile, white liberal psychopaths who grew up in the suburbs. They're mostly spoiled children in adult bodies, with upper middle-class parents who dote on them like they're still in third grade or some shit. These assholes don't really hate cars. They hate freedom of individual movement, outside of THEIR control. Keep in mind, these are people who called the cops on Black homeowners grilling and sitting out on their stoops...then made TikToks of themselves on their stoops. THAT is who the modern gentrifier is. THAT is who actually hates cars here.
