As a car lover, I don't understand the attachment to cars in big cities. Driving in them, with or without admission prices, is an utterly miserable experience. Why would you want to take an hour to go five miles while surrounded by screaming noise and horns and the constant threat of hitting a pedestrian or another car? It sucks out of control. I don't see the point in allowing personal vehicles to operate in that motorist's hellscape at all.
You want to live in a human termite mound, you don't get to drive an apartment with wheels around. You wanna drive your car to work, live and work where it makes sense.
- AdrianB1 2y agoNot a car fan, but I use one from time to time: - grocery shopping every week requires a car - it takes me 1.5 hours to commute to work by subway, ~ 1 hour by car in a good day. When it's freezing outside and I have to walk 2 kilometers to the subway, I would prefer the car. When there are 38 degrees Celsius, I would prefer the car (also from the subway to the office is over .5 kilometers). Getting sweaty in the office is bad. Luckily I work from home most of the time or I take a motorcycle, much faster than a car and better most of the time (except when it's freezing) - driving the kids to school sometimes requires a car when the school is 2 km away and there is no direct public transportation in that direction (or you have to change 3 different bus lines) Work from home is not always and option and most of the time is not the employee's choice. All the greenwashing companies that require their employees in the office for work that does not require physical presence bear more guilt on pollution than their employees.
