alt Hacker NewsIt's fine if people choose it.
It's not fine if that choice denies other people the choice not to.
And there seems to be a lot of the latter.
For example, when shopping facilities or hospitals are built so as to be, de-facto, only accessible by automobile, that locks people out of the choice to say no thanks.

I don't follow, are people then not able to choose to live somewhere that has shopping facilities or hospitals that are built so as not to be only accessible by automobile?

This is a regional problem. Legislation to require pedestrian accessibility would fix it.
Where I live every new development must build out sidewalks as a condition of permitting.
