Depending on where you live in the world it's just not possible for some people to live in one of those idealist walkable cities do to systemic segregation. Can't afford to live there but that particular area still needs workers. This ideal community is reserved for a certain class of people.

If one place is really nice to live while a other is rather shitty, of course everybody will want to live in the nice place, which drives prices up, which means the rich people get to live in the nice place and the poor get to live in the shitty place.

The solution is of course to make all places nice. But ultimately you've got to start with one.

Yes exactly. The point is to make whole cities like this not neighbourhoods or small areas. Europe is much closer to the 3rd picture than USA but not there.

Putting up some bollards to pedestrianize a street isn’t expensive.

I’m not sure where race comes into it.

It’s just car-brained car supremacy.

All the more reason to make every community better. If quality of life is improved across the board, then everyone gets access to the benefits and you get rid of the risks of gentrification.
