I’m not sold on the “worse for the environment” label either, but it’s not (strictly) about giving up private car ownership, especially anytime soon. It’s about not prioritizing car ownership at the expense of methods that create better communities, which does lead to decreased private car dependency, but not without improving the quality of life in other areas. Private vehicles have their place in that, just without inherent priority over other methods of transportation or the development of communities, and so on.
