Can you really think of no other problems in addition to cars?
2 comments

I live in a city and the problems are:

1) sometimes it is noisy at night, usually because of people in cars, but sometimes because of people not in cars;

2) sometimes it takes longer than needed to walk somewhere, due to intersections

3) my house is not as big as I would like. (I think this applies to many people regardless of how big their house is.)

4) the busses are always late in winter

I know I kicked off this discussion, but I have also bemoaned many times about the anti-car people being quasi religious in their anti-worship of cars. They talk about it like missionaries talk about jesus.
Well that's no different than vegans. We "need them" to preach obnoxiously because cars are presumed indispensable.

Vegans gave us the Impossible Burger, which I'll eat instead of regular burgers when available. What might anti-car people trigger as a positive?
