I certainly don't buy that your car is freedom trope sold to our parents to buy the latest car back in the sixties. Most cars are dailies and only ever drive between home, work, store ad nauseum. So the rosy tinted idea that cars are freedom just means more traffic, complaining about fuel, complaining about tires, complaining about insurance, and the forgetful fact that humans are driving around a metal and plastic box with several dozen litres of flammable fuel at 100km/h - while listening to shitty breakfast show radio. No thanks. I'd rather we do away with the car is freedom trope. Most cars arent even useful, just signals to your nieghbours and friends that you are, in fact, balling. No thanks. Uber had the right idea. Don't own it, go where you want and pay up. Should be cheap when it's automated. Don't like that then take public transport...and if you can - just walk. What happened to just walking? Right...you can't because our spaces are designed for car travel, not people. Do you see my point? |

Did you drive 100+ miles, one way, for epic parties when you were in high school? I did. That's how rural Arkansas works.
My first tech job required me to go 130 miles one way for months before I could afford my own place and move closer. How would I have done that with your rules?!
