I think these are pipe dreams. Cars give a level of freedom that can't be replicated. Like Saturday I'm going skydiving and that's a 50 minute drive both ways to the middle of nowhere. Or yesterday I hit two stores in different areas of the city on the way home from work.

I actually have a few stores a 10 minute walk away, and like a Walmart, etc.. just a 15 minute walk away, and I've only walked to those places a handful of times over 9 years.

You can't beat walking outside your door to a vehicle.

There's plenty of places where you don't need a car so it's not exactly a pipe dream. I've never owned a car, just get everywhere by bike and public transit.

You're entitled to your preferences. There are places where people have to walk hours for fresh water everyday, personally that wouldn't fit my definition of practical.

Exactly right. Car ownership is a definite boost to an individual's personal freedom. Personal Liberty is the main thing that matters to me overall.
