> But trying to defend for example your right to have a car and move freely is not "extremism". And it's normal to feel personally attacked when they tell you to give up your car. It's literally a personal attack on your freedom.
What most "anti-car" people are advocating for amounts to the option to not drive. As it is now, driving is practically a requirement for full participation in society.
- Ozzie_osman 4y ago... In certain societies, like the US. There are many places where public transport makes it not a requirement.
- wing-_-nuts 4y agoHave you used public transit outside of NYC in the US? It's a laughable token service. It takes me ~ 15m to drive to work. Taking public transit would extend that to 93m. It would legitimately be faster to bike there. I do not live in a small town. This is in one of the top 10 cities in the US.
