“What about the disabled / elderies / social anxiety” must be the most bad-faith argument lmao. My friend got disabled because of cars. Most car drivers are not disabled, are they? Exemption for handicapped people already exists.
Oh there’s always a genuine, non-sarcastic use for a car.
I’m close enough to work to cycle without blinking, yet scheduling and family pressures / drop-offs/ pick-ups mean that it’s more time-sensible to drive.
I hate it. I used to cycle every day to work.
The other shitty thing in the equation is the public transport which functions at a generous 40% of what it might.
I’d hate to wrap my soggy brain around solving the problem, but I wish someone would; more routes, more frequency, more funding.
= fewer cars.

Exactly… cars would not be that bad if they were used sparingly instead of making it a default.
