        except for the “cars are great” part.

        Yeah… Excluding moron drivers you have:

        • fucking dangerous for anyone outside the car
          • killing millions every year
          • main cause of death among those aged 15–29 years
        • air pollution
        • noise pollution
        • one of the main sources of greenhouse emissions
        • wasting space where it’s more valuable
        • wasting money on subsides, directly and indirectly because of roads needed
        • distorting urban growth to increase dependency on it

        I’m probably still forgetting something important…

          Yup.

          Remember the headlines about the massive pollution drop that occurred in Spring 2020 after most workplaces went remote?

          Cars and planes are the problem. Unfortunately, cars and planes make the billionaires a lot of money, so there won’t be any meaningful change to our transportation systems.
