Is is just my feeling or has there been a large increase in anti-car sentiment, interest in neighbourhood niceness and walkability, etc?


There has been. With work from home, people are spending way more time in their neighborhoods, and online. They’re simultaneously discovering that their neighborhoods aren’t very nice, and (through urbanist social media) that nice walkable neighborhoods do exist!

When you don’t have to commute by car to your job, you spend more time walking around your neighborhood. It’s nice if it’s a nice neighborhood to walk around.
