> Just don't take away autonomy out of spite.

It's not a question of taking away autonomy, and there's certainly no spite about it. If you want to get around town, you have bikes or e-bikes. If you want to get out of urban centers, you can always rent a car at the periphery.

I've lived in SF for 10 years with no car and have never felt unable to do anything I've wanted at any time.

Not really, the farm can have a bus with regularly scheduled pick-ups or routes like a lot of the Napa wineries do.
