> I can't imagine having multiple children and living with no car. That is because everything in U.S. American life is centered around having a car and not having a car is fighting against that setup. There are perfectly viable alternatives for living without a car but there's been a strong social trend away from these for a very long time. It will require new modes of living and some re-organization of our cities to get back to a point where not-having a car becomes an attractive default mode again.
