I think "car culture" is a bit too broad. I don't have as much of a problem with car enthusiasts, more so our country's continuous commitment to car infrastructure without supporting other options.
I'm actually a huge car enthusiast, I love them. I don't own one though, nor do I drive much at all. But I think there is a difference between being passionate about cars, and forcing that passion to require people to use cars for nearly all transportation.
Totally agree with your other points, although the US has a lot of work to start incentivizing other modes of transportation.
- foxes 5y agoYes, you can appreciate the technology and the engineering involved. My comment and issue is towards the general mass adoption, car focused infrastructure. I don't want them eliminated entirely, they are still useful, certain people do have use cases. But I am sure for the vast majority of people their dependence could be quite reduced by supporting alternatives. There are plenty of disabled people that can't drive, and plenty of old people that can still ride a bike. I just see these arguments come up every time on HN and they are too focused on specifics.
