I feel justified for being pro car egostically by looking back at the pandemic. When employers and politicians herded workers through tightly packed public transport with zero effective protection (partially due to lack of discipline, partially due to lack of investment), I felt save & secure in my movable tin box. Yes, I am paying a lot for that box. And, do realize, that public transport is and will be for the plebs. Even if it's green. Not spoken in derogative manner, it's just that. Noone of high enough status is going to bike or limit themselves in any way, shape, or form. If they do bike, they'll be taking the car when you aren't looking or helicopter in. That probably still is going to solve the problem of mass transit, but the few who are not mass are going to continue to enjoy unlimited individual and privat transport whereas the rest of us won't. It's a decline in a dimension of freedom and not recognizing and admitting that fact is dishonest.
