Thank you for your good nature on this topic. Driving is a fraught issue, in that we have all sorts of social attitudes around it that prevent us thinking critically about the necessity and costs of driving. I've always been skeptical of driving, since I lost my best friend to it in high school, and saw others lose their friends. But. Since I've had children, I've been completely radicalized, and find it hard to even discuss the issue with a lot of people because my views have diverged so much from the mainstream. I unintentionally offend people all the time, and seeing your attitude gives me hope for finding more productive ways to express my views, like danny_codes did here.
