> i may be biased since i use public transit or bike for everything It is good to recognize this. A very large portion of the population does not live somewhere that makes good sense for pervasive public transit, walking, or biking for regular transportation needs. And many of those people actively don't want to live somewhere like that. Personal vehicles have a use case, and that does not become invalid just because it does not match your own preferences.
