We need more affordable, effective and reliable public transportation, not more individual cars weighing tons and transporting only a handful of people.
Ideally it'd be that, but here we are. The next best thing is produce more affordable EVs. Otherwise, China would just take over the world while y'all be arguing about all those ideals.
We need to redistribute land in cities towards the state, instead of allocating in in a market economy and on top we need to we need to build mixed used neighborhoods that make public transport and mobility a rather rare occurance in the first place.
I don't know whether more mixed neighborhoods would transportation a rare occurance. Rarer yes, but not rare. There are just too many opportunities to travel, from needing to see a medical specialist to visiting friends and family.
Also, while I agree that housing should not be subject to a for-profit market economy, I am also not sure I want to see the state get ownership and more control over people's living. Local cooperatives seem more appropriate.
