The most recent offline take I got was someone upset that [nearest city] is becoming more walkable.

"I didn't vote for this." "Why can't we all just drive like normal people?" "Muh taxes (don't ask about how much it costs to maintain highways)".

For once, I stood my ground and politely said "I suppose, but it's no fun being stuck in traffic all day. Driving and traffic is so boring."

I got looked at like I have two heads. As if walkability/public transit was quite literally inconceivable.
