This is super important, as is emphasising that “walkable” doesn’t mean “you must walk”. I have seen disability activists (of which I consider myself one) calling walkable cities ableist because they find the idea hostile to disabled people who struggle to walk or wheel themselves long distances.

Don’t get me wrong, it pissed me off to no end to hear that argument because I fucking hate cars and also car-centric cities are ALSO inherently ableist. But it was also a wake up call to me that we can diversify our outreach further.
