I sold my car last year and barely gave it a secomd thought (I still have access to a car on weekends). Money, environment and space-saving were all factors.

I don't think government should be in the business of subsidising driving (which is currently the case in multiple ways). Instead that money should be used to make public and active transport safe, convenient and reliable.

Many countries were designed for cars... Gonna take gemerations to undo it if the corpos even let us.

So much grift connected to car industry. in Us, road construction is a good biz ... Maintenance is mehh
