Cars are dumb for the many, not for you personally at this very moment. We can easily build carfree cities (by improving bike infrastructure and public transport), what is dumb is focusing on short-term benefits for one's personal comfort/safety.
I don't know one resident of a car-free city who regret the transition. Would you?

Since I have the choice to use or not use a car every single day, I know the advantages and disadvantages very well. > I don't know one resident of a car-free city who regret the transition. Would you? I don't know any car-free cities except tiny ones on tourist-heavy islands. And yes, I would move to some other city.
