Take a look in other cities around the world. It works pretty well also for the kids, the elderly. Especially the elder, when they have problems using the car, because of their slow reaction times and bad sight. Especially, for the kids, as they are to young to drive a car.

I see here in Germany every day people (of every age), which can do their shopping with public transport. I've done it also in the past. Currently, my car is waiting in the garage 6 out of 7 day a week. I just use it sometimes, because its there. I can't use my car downtown anyway, because finding a parking spot is like playing a lottery and is expansive. It is more easy and cheaper to use public transport, or my bike, or my legs.

The only reason you are arguing this way is: you love your car. I've done that my self in the past. But I changed, and you can it too.

Just look at SF, in Chinatown the buses at packed with the elderly and their pushcarts full of groceries.
