"I feel like this anti car sentiment comes from people who already don't have access to a car and have already molded their lives around public transportation and of course then it is easy to say we should get rid of cars" Or people who have choosen to not own a car and discovered that it is possible in the cities (at least in europe). And every person not driving a car in a city, is making that city nicer and every person insisting he must drive - makes it worse. Air pollution, noise and safety. I now own a car, but only since I live rural. In the city I was always faster by bike. So yes, the idea is to have eventually at least the cities mostly car free.

>In the city I was always faster by bike. Until someone steals your bike. >Air pollution, noise and safety. I can get the first two, but not safety. >Or people who have chosen to not own a car Yes, as I have always stated life is about sacrifices and paying way more for smaller apartment in a city lets you not have a car, but for many people paying thousands for rent is either completely out of budget or just ridiculous. I have chosen to commute with a cheap old car and live in a cheap city.

  ">Air pollution, noise and safety. I can get the first two, but not safety." Then maybe try not driving around with a car once, but walking or cycling and you might get it.

    Yes. I must have never walked or cycled. I stated driving from baby. OK. this is enough of HN for today, you people are insufferable.

      I mean, you stated that you do not get the safety argument. If you recently would have driven a bicycle in a car crowded city, or walked there around with small children, I don't think you would ask that question as it is obvious that cars are the danger number 1 in cities.
