I was trying to contribute that it's okay if one size doesn't fit all. Different people have different needs. Being pro something doesn't necessarily mean you're anti some other thing. It's not a binary world, in case you haven't noticed. The compulsion to think that way hurts discourse. I'm pro public transit and also pro private transit, because they're both useful in different ways.
Sometimes things are mutually exclusive.
Also I don't know what "pro private transit" means to you. Do you mean more space dedicated to cars over people? Often people want "more parking" and "more lanes", and those things don't solve the problems they're facing, and are bad ideas.
You have to take more of the ideas out of your head and put them into the words you write if you want other people to follow you.
