Right on. Car sharing and gig economy ride services make sense to me.
I no longer own a car. I gave my last car to my granddaughter last spring. I do “cheat” a bit because I can use my wife’s car, but I find it liberating to not have a car. Living in a small town in the mountains of Central Arizona (Sedona), I can walk to our beautiful library in 25 minutes, to our local food bank where I volunteer one day a week in 15 minutes, and to our local movie theater and a grocery store in 10 minutes.
Except for writing I am now retired, so I can afford “wasting time” by walking.
My generation has done a horrible job living in an environmentally sustainable way. I want to take a 110 day around the world cruise, and roughly not buying a new car might offset the environmental damage of taking that cruise. Anyway, that is how I see it.
