What a weird straw man.
I haven't owned a car for my whole life and I am doing fine. It is not a big deal. Yes you need to life in a city with decent public transport but that is all.
It is insane how people seem to be not even able to imagine a world that is not car-centric. It is really a small sacrifice that would increase the actual living conditions of everyone as we could have cities that are much more pleasant to life in.

That is a huge ask. cities come with an incredible amount of baggage: higher taxes, higher cost of living, lower quality of life, less living space, smaller property, left wing politics, higher crime rates, more air pollution. many of us have zero interest in living in a big city. My personal theory is that individual liberty is inversely proportional to population density. wherever people are closer together, you end up with more rules because it's easier to encroach on other peoples wellbeing. so no thank you. I will keep my car and I will continue to have fires and shoot moose in my backyard.
