i actually wonder what the statistics look like across the entire country of whether people actually like cars vs its the only way to get around. HN is a bubble including most of city folk. Most people I know love their cars, including myself. I love the freedom of leaving whenever i want, going wherever i want. However, i also adore trains. Both have their place. I think a personal (ideally extremely safe) airplane sounds like a dream to me. I also think we should have trains! The more the merrier! Choice is important and while you may not care for cars if you have all of the public transit possible, others do. I still find myself going for drives and I'm someone who lives in NYC with probably the best transit system in the US.
- nostrebored 2y agoI think the statistics around want are completely irrelevant. Car infrastructure has destroyed the US both from a physical and social perspective. I highly recommend "The High Cost of Free Parking" as an intro to just how far-reaching this blight goes. Sure, some people should be able to have cars. They should also incur the _true_ cost of having those.
