> I'm sure there's a number of other factors they didn't mention that make it preferable to simply use their perfectly working car.

I'm sorry but when one is willing to put that much effort to try to justify using a car to avoid a 10 mn walk, that's only because one is way too lazy and privileged...

The effort of a 300 word comment on the internet? This isn't Twitter.

>one is way too lazy and privileged...

you are free to think that. It is still a subjective choice in the matter.

You treat the walk as the default and car as something that needs to be justified. That's BS. I think you are too privileged to live in a safe neighborhood, in good climate, to be healthy enough to walk with load, and to own a good backpack :P

To me car is the default solution, it's simply better in every way for most people. Making one's life better doesn't need to be "justified".

> You treat the walk as the default

Is it unreasonable to treat “moving around with your body” as the default vs “moving around in a $x,000-x00,000 device”?

It is! Just like not having surgery, not using AC/heating, or not wearing glasses, etc. All those things are unnatural and some are expensive, but luckily we are not hunter-gatherers anymore ;)
