   It's hard to take abled cis-male white dudes in Urbanism talking about how they hate any "hedging" about some people not being able to go car-free right now when I don't see anything like as big a push to talk with disabled cyclists, urbanists, takers-of-public-transit...and even disabled people who rely on cars about ableism in infrastructure & policy and HOW WE GET TO an equitable urban environment and climate solutions. #Ableism

     So it's easy for me to critique, but what do I *want* to see? I want to see the mic being passed more often. I want to see disabled (and women and BIPOC and LGBTQUIA and poor and rural,etc) folks who are already on board with cycling, public transit, rail, & human-scale development being consulted by the largely hegemonic folks running various orgs and elevated (not just pumped for info, but given credit & given the floor in equal shares). #Ableism

     It's analogous to all the abled cis-het white male podcast hosts whose guest lists are still ~80% abled cis-het white males from the same field as them (usually entertainment).
