    I think these are pipe dreams. Cars give a level of freedom that can’t be replicated. Like Saturday I’m going skydiving and that’s a 50 minute drive both ways to the middle of nowhere. Or yesterday I hit two stores in different areas of the city on the way home from work.

    I actually have a few stores a 10 minute walk away, and like a Walmart, etc… just a 15 minute walk away, and I’ve only walked to those places a handful of times over 9 years.

    You can’t beat walking outside your door to a vehicle.

      There’s plenty of places where you don’t need a car so it’s not exactly a pipe dream. I’ve never owned a car, just get everywhere by bike and public transit.

      Cars give a level of freedom that can’t be replicated.

      Rollercoasters an give fun sensations that can’t be replicated. That doesn’t mean everyone has to own a rollercoaster.
