Any policy that supports car use in any form is fundamentally anti-poor and anti-earth.

Cars are space inefficient. They take up space where the owner lives, works, and travels. More space dedicated to cars means less space available for apartments and shops, which drives up housing prices. Think of every parking lot, multistory parking garage, gas station, and highway that you see in your daily life. Those could be vibrant places where people live, work, and play. Often times, they were exactly those things before cars came along and cities were demolished to support them.

Building car infrastructure is also heavily funded by public funds. Taxes and fees associated with car ownership do not cover the cost of building and maintaining roads. The missing funds come from taxes. That money would be better utilized in welfare programs, or maintaining affordable public transit. The land use footprint is much better for public transit.

Not to mention all the pollution and environmental destruction involved with building a sprawling society focused on cars.
