in addition to GP/sibling's reasons:
(d) I enjoy the activity of walking or biking or the relaxation of reading or sleeping over driving a car most of the time
(e) cars are expensive (average TCO is $8k per year). That's multiple vacations per year, for me.
(f) riding in cars isolate me from others around me in a weird way. Society has partially adapted to this by talking about cars as if they were animate objects
(g) parking lots are bundles of frustration for me with multiple people and vehicles constantly in conflict
very much echo GP/sibling in wanting day-to-day trips to be car free. Maybe <10 trips per month via car.
