Having public transit to drive you around would make 99.9999% of people happier than fighting the rest in traffic.
Japan has unmanned stations in the boonies where its just 1 line that splits at stations for trains to pass. They run regular service through tiny towns this way. Elsewhere and in the event more rural areas, buses and vans fill that role.
Bicycles and mopeds can move >10x more people per lane of road and requires <1/10th the pavement for parking. You dont understand what a blight cars are on urban development and human health until you've spent time in places with effective public transit.
The meat thing is a little more subjective, IDK how far off we are from being able to reasonably get rid of all animal products, but there are certainly areas it can be decreased without negatively affecting peoples standard of living.
