> But driving a car is a privilege not a right.

Another big aspect of the car hate is that most car drivers act like it is exactly the opposite.

Vehemently opposing bike/bus lanes and streeteries because it means less city-subsidized parking for them, complaining about speed bumps and other traffic calming measures, constantly whining about "scofflaw cyclists" when 90% of them are rolling through stop signs too, getting into hysterics about "predatory" speed and red light cameras, etc.

Car drivers act like they're the most persecuted group in the city when in fact they're one of the most pampered.
