There is always exceptions and in some areas, you have to have some cars. But removing most of the cars and replacing most of the 8 lanes of traffic with alternatives would be more than enough.
I wasn't even disagreeing. Not sure why I'm being argued against.
From my perspective, they aren't arguing against you, but argue for your case (you, being immunocompromised, being one of the exceptions they are talking about)
I suppose I'm too used to being on reddit and having people be needlessly aggressive and argumentative. You're right.
It's as they said: I'm not arguing against you. I think there is a healthy amount of traffic and cars and your condition is one of the reasons why. I can see how I did come off as doing so, so I apologize for the confusion.
