Tell me you've only lived in cities without telling me you've only lived in cities.

I Live in a city and stuff is walkable but having car would be great to for flexablity and convenience

The closest city is 15 miles away from me. I do drive, though I've actually commuted by bike a few dozen times (thank goodness for ebikes!)

All cars should be taken off the road, and furthermore, everyone should live in dense housing in the city. I wish I didn't live in the middle of nowhere, it's extremely inefficient and a terrible use of resources.
