I have used car sharing for ~10 years and its been great not owning a car. Until I got a kid. Car seats are not made for carrying around and storage I'll tell you that.
Now I have a second kid. It's a complete nail in the coffin for not owning a car. Two seats!?
Ive been a bespoken car sharing advocate until I got kids, and there are probably lots of other lives being lived where cars are a must unless every need I'm similarly unaware of are met by car sharing businesses.
Proper research into the needs will have to be done before we can do any such thing as banning private cars. But I agree with your premise. Softly.
