Cars svck, and car owners have an expensive addiction.
(The headline was an intentionally provocative statement.)
It is time to demand better:
Walkable neighborhoods, and decent public transport
A smart new political agenda would be : CARS ARE LAST !
Get them out of your streets, and out of your lives. Save $8,000 - 10,000 per annum by not owning a car,
and invest that money in a decent property in a Walkable neighborhood.
Design neighborhoods with denser living, where cars are not needed.
Start building capital, and rebuilding the country. It is about time !
DISCUSS !

Many people smoke, and claim to enjoy that addiction too.
But those who do not share it, shake their heads and just wonder why the addicted live that way

personally i dont smoke, and i dont care if other do, that is their business. to me though the sound of a healthy V8 at full song is a symphony not unlike those that mozart or beethoven created. try it sometime, you may just like it more than you realize.
No guns, no cars, no houses, no land. We're just supposed to be pod people riding bicycles, on the bus, on the train to our pod jobs and pod apartments all decorated with pod furniture.
Here's the problem - the US is a big place. Very spread out. Not real bicycle or walker friendly like so many European cities/countries. Personally, I had no desire to live in a high density area. And people who live in rural areas have to have cars and often trucks. I'm from Nashville, TN - their public transport sucks - it always has. I've lived in Los Angeles for 18 years - a huge, sprawling city with terrible public transport. Now I'd actually take public transport to work at least some of the time if I could - but it'd take most of my day. It's not always affordable, practical, or even desirable to live near your place of work (my office is on the westside, closer to the beach and an expensive area - not to mention I hate it there). I have a compact car, get good mileage, have California emissions so it doesn't pollute as bad, and I tend to keep a car for a very long time so it's not like I'm constantly buying a new one. That's the best I can do.
