Commuting to office (by car) daily is the real problem. Road trips by car are incredibly freeing and not miserable.

I work in hospice, traveling to patients homes. I'd be more than happy to work from home, but the logistics of getting dying bed ridden people to travel to me has been tricky.

Imagine how smooth your travels would be, if the 70% that could work from home or use public transport would do so.

You mean like during the COVID lockdown? It was amazing. I wish people learned more lessons from that time.

We're fighting the war on car dependence.
Cars are fine but car dependance isn't, our cities shouldn't be built in a way that requires a car for everyday like.
Requiring that your citizens own a $10000 - $35000+ depreciating asset just to live life is a tragedy that lessens economic mobility and punishes your most vulnerable.

You worked remotely with dying humans?

Apparently this is an unpopular opinion on Lemmy but - I like cars? Cars are fun. You can learn so much working on them and restoring them. Learn to weld, learn to build engines and gearboxes, learn to paint, learn how to do wiring. And at the end of it after all that blood, sweat, and tears - you have something fun you can drive about in!
Why does everybody here hate on my hobby so much? Its like the one thing I have in this world. Let me enjoy it.

However, if you follow that train of thought, you'll often get to the point where you'd need to get rid of cars as we know them today.
If people weren't depending on them, fewer would have one. And if only few people have one (they are expensive, after all), why build roads just for them? Why all this costly infrastructure that would only benefit 5% of the population? Why use everyone's tax to fund them?
The fact that cars are built like today - basically comfort cages - is only because all this infrastructure exists. They're not used outside of that environment. So of people don't depend on it, they'd probably vanish in a couple of decades, at least outside of their respective niches.

Your hobby is fine as long as you don't impose the externalities on other people. I don't want to hear your loud engine, I don't want to breathe your fumes, and I don't want to worry about getting hit while just walking around.

Cars still suck even without the dependence. I live somewhere that very much isn't car dependant but there's still too many of them and they still make places miserable.

No. Theyre saying when everyone else was in lockdown, traveling was easier because no one else was on the road. Im also someone who cant work remote and i long for the days where a sprinkle of rain doesnt mean my 25 minute commute turns into an hour

Cars as a hobby are cool. A society built around cars is stupid. Billions of people using cars daily is pretty dangerous to us all.
I like shooting guns. It's loud, smells funny, and you get to train patience and self-control. It's a cool hobby. A society built around guns is... well... just look at the US.

️.This. I HATE cities. Crammed up against everyone else, smells, noises 🤮. I'm over 10 miles to the nearest grocery store and all these fuckcars weirdos will do some fucking mental gymnastics to explain a RURAL life without cars. I don't think a single one of them has been anywhere where there is actual forest between cities/towns. They live in a city with great public transit so that must be how it is everywhere, right?
