Freeways? Well, they're not really a problem either, and usually get broken down into a few categories
>aestheticspersonal choice, understandable but not relevant
>takes up spacedoesn't really matter when you have space, just like traffic circles take up more space than an intersection
>inefficientusually measured in ideal circumstances favoring mass transit (packed vehicles going in same destination)
>induced demandbasically measures traffic lane-miles against population growth (with the original paper notably not advocating mass transit as a solution) but parroted and exaggerated so much that it might as well be a myth at this point
Sharrows I'm not sure about. I assume they get complaints because cyclists are weird and autistic and legally allowing them to take the full lane confuses and frightens them, but I honestly don't know.
Stroads are a made-up definition and a made-up problem, basically after railing against freeways they go after avenues and major thoroughfares.
>Yes you can't get anywhere other than by carYou can go places, if you live out in the middle of the cornfields probably not, but you can still bike places or get an Uber
