Supposing this was even possible, that enough people banded together and said "enough with cars" and decided to change the way of life, it would take several decades, maybe even a century, to turn a town that is primarily driven to a town that is primarily walked. It's not practical and everyone knows this. The utility of cars is too much to be simply tossed away. Imagine how hard visiting the mountains would be without one. Perhaps a more metropolitan person could live with just seeing pictures but I am an outdoorsman and this idea actually causes significant existential concern. The solution is to make obviously anti-consumer behavior illegal in the same way we make monopolies illegal. Companies should build usable, fixable things. Planned obsolescence, subscription car services, etc are all a way they exploit this position they have. The free market would ideally fix this but given that it's very well known every car manufacturer is in bed with each other once one adopts this exploitative behavior the rest will surely follow. MRR is extremely desirable. Since it's not tenable for at the very least our generation to experience a less car-free life why not try to fix the thing causing the problem and THEN solve the greater problem?
