Fix suburban and semi-rural neighborhoods - and by that I mean make them walkable and bikeable with public transportation available, and make sure 95% of what you need is in every neighborhood.

THEN you can squeeze out the old systems. Otherwise you have under-resourced people with no access to anything they need stuck in their homes waiting for their much accelerated deaths.

That's so far from an American reality, it feels like a looming poor suburban genocide. Bike lanes are awesome. But there are FAR more places where they don't exist than where they do.
