I’m not sure what point you think I proved. Something that is true for the vast majority of people isn’t a “luxury”.
My entire point is it's not realistic to get rid of privately owned vehicles, and for the 20% of people not living in those delivery areas, they are pretty much required.
I'm not against trains or walkable cities, I'm completely for them. But the notion of getting rid of cars entirely is just delusional.
I see, so you’re arguing against a strawman. I don’t see where someone suggested entirely eliminating personal or work vehicles.
Are you serious? The literal post you're commenting in is asking why everyone is talking about electric cars when trains are a thing.
Idk why I'm still commenting. This is such a waste of energy. Peace.
That’s not the same as saying that nobody needs a car or we need to eliminate all cars and trucks.
