You're only the crazy outlier because our entire infrastructure has been re-designed around having a car first and foremost. Except The Netherlands. That affects everything else - how things are built, spaced, run down of public transport, footpaths get the long way round, road gets the direct route to shop door, housing areas no longer have many (or any) local shops, services or expectation to add a rail station or bus route to the new houses. Look back to history and most shops and milk used to deliver, or have a round that brought the green grocery, or whatever to you in a suitably kitted out van. Losing those means yet another push to individualise delivery to you in the car. I can only hope we find a middle ground that's people first, but I suspect vested interests and big business will win, as always. FWIW We mostly do live without the car, but once every week or two there's a trip that's unavoidable. My ideal commute is 30 mins or so each way, on foot or bicycle.
