Yeah, I just find a gigantic metal vehicle so inefficient and overkill for what people often use it for. With equivalent infrastructure long journeys make sense by train and short journeys by local transport or bike or something. It’s seeing one person constantly moving themselves in a huge car designed for 4 or 5 people which seems so inefficient to me.
Lot’s of reasons, the list is quite long, you don’t really have to read that all x) :
*- cars maintenance is annoying
*- parking is annoying
*- on street parking and big parking lots are ugly and make places worse to live in
*-cars are extremely dangerous
*-cars are too loud
*-cars are bad for the environment
*-cars are an inefficient way to get around in most cases
*-there is too much car infrastructure
*-car infrastructure is really expensive, a lot of that tax money would be of better use elsewhere
*-I’d rather support public transport and the implementation of good bicycle and walking infrastructure
*-walking and riding a bike is healthy and can be really pleasant
*-I can read stuff while using public transport (like lemmy posts)
*-driving a car in big cities is scary and stressful
*-trains are cool
*-screw the car industry and their lobbying
*- in the few cases I do want to use a car, I can easily rent one
These are just the reasons from the top of my head, there are probably more.
