Originally, anti-housing activism was about racism. These days it's about 98% not wanting to lose free on-street parking.
If half the people who drive single-occupant cars switched to e-bikes, there would suddenly be twice as many car parking spaces available. We like to point out how e-bikes are great for the rider, letting you park anywhere. E-bikes are also great for city planners, solving a lot of the problems cars cause.
Cities should give away free e-bikes!
