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 !

I think this belongs in a general or political forum. Not being mean. I'm all about saving our country. I get where you're coming from.

I was going to relax and take it easy, but after seeing this thread I think I am going to go take my Tahoe around the 610 Loop in second gear, just for fun and to pizz off the eco-Marxist environutjobs.

Congrats on your thread, you just raised my carbon footprint as a result.

How about I go ahead and purchase 10-ac of rainforest...and pave it.

Keep your northeast "walkable", "mass-transit", multiple story high-rise or retro tenement living real-estate flip dreams to yourself.

You can take my cars "when you pry my cold dead fingers from the steering wheel".

I don't want to live in a denser neighborhood. I don't care for my neighbors to be any closer than they are. And I can afford the extra costs mentioned to live as I do. Damn apartment dweller!

OP clearly hasn't owned a vehicle that he/she loves. Maybe you're just the type of person that buys a car just because it's a car.
