The tables on the road were only there for the inauguration day, but bike lane is here to stay.

If something I wrote is upsetting when taken out of context, you might want to put it back in. World might be a nicer place.
"There should be safe places for people to walk."
There should be safe places for people to walk, however my example is of such a place (like the bike path in the picture) being made unsafe for people walking by bicycles (the inverse of what's pictured).
In normal communities on Lemmy this could spark discussion but on FuckCars you're all so fragile you have to brigade anyone who doesn't fall in line with your specific viewpoint.
Clearly my mistake for not blocking this community when I created this alt.
People here legit agreeing there should be safe and equitable access to public infrastructure.
You're off on the sidelines complaining that there isn't safe and equitable access to public infrastructure.
People aren't downvoting your opinion, just your reading comprehension.
If I understand you correctly:
There's a picture of a place that used to be a road, but is now an area where people can walk (on both left and right sides), sit, and bike. Someone complained about a pedestrian on the bike lane, and you responded by describing a situation in a completely different place. When people disliked your response, you then complained about their reactions.
Honestly, I find this confusing and not very helpful, as it doesn't contribute meaningfully to the discussion about the original picture. Did I miss something? I'm a bit tired right now, so please let me know if that's the case.
