As someone who dislikes cars or let's say dislikes the fact there's no other choice
I know exactly why people like cars, because I was one, I grew up playing with toy cars, micro machines, garages, play mat with roads, Sim city for car planning, building cars in Lego, playing need for speed, gran turismo, midnight club run, mad max, grand theft auto, truck simulator, watching Tokyo drift
Cars are everywhere in our culture, huge bits of car infrastructure like traffic lights and roads that run for miles that just connect to a shed are completely normal
The bigger problem for us "anti car" people is that it's so ingrained that people no longer see or care about the determental aspect of car dominance
People look at horrific crashes like a car wedged on a side of a building and they dismiss it as a driver problem
They look at traffic jams and they look at it as an other person problem
They look in their neighbourhood and don't notice that their kids can't safely play in their neighbourhood and then wonder why they're glued to phones
The problem we have is recognition first and foremost then it's education, YouTubers not just bikes and strong towns do an amazing job of that
