Going by the popular votes, no, actually.

Yamaha Pacificas are a great first guitar in terms of value for money.

Someone needs to own a car still.

And that someone can't be available every day when I need to do two school runs and an office trip.

That someone can't always be available when the sink springs a leak and I need to go buy some new washers and plumber's mait.

I really question your life experience at this point. If you're single, childless and living in a big city, sure, cars are very unnecessary. For most people this isn't the case

Unironically, "you were my brother, Anakin. I loved you" though I suppose it is more of just a line rather than a whole scene. Ewan was too good for those films.

For real, the pavements here are like bunched-up carpet from all the roots, lol

It's a town of 90k people. The kind of town that the vast majority of people in the UK live in.

Just out of curiosity how can you transport something large and bulky, that isn't allowed on public transport, let's say furniture, or the remains of a shed you dismantled or any one of a hundred inconvenient loads that occur during your life without a car?

Great, well I have a six year old that needs to get to his school which is about a mile and a half away and I need to get to work 20 mins after which is about three miles in the other direction.

I then also need to do his pickup during my lunch break.

Most people's lives don't work without a car because that's not the society that car ownership created.

The train doesn't stop at the recycling centre. Nor does it stop at my childrens' schools. Ditto my office, the supermarket, IKEA, the house of the person I just bought weed from.

The layout of our towns expanded with the ubiquity of cars. Services agglomerated and became situated where land was cheap rather than central.

Bikes and light mass transit have their use cases but removing cars is not feasible for the majority of households
