What's with all the anti-car articles lately? It's pointless to try having any discussion about it because any comment that even remotely suggests the situational necessity of cars is downvoted out of visibility. Might as well disable comments and just tell everyone what to think in the title. Drop the pretense of not being an echo chamber by this point.
