Paris Mayor: I want a city with less cars. Perhaps it's controversial, but I think I'm on the right side of history. I had lobbyists from car companies threaten me in my own office.

Freedom is being able to go anywhere without being threatened by giant metal cages

Especcially, since freedom is not limited to car owners.

and even if we use a spoon to remove the part of our brains that know cars suck, surely no one actually wants to drive everywhere, surely a sane person only wants to drive in certain places?

no one fucking drives from norway to china, what people drive is from their house in the boonies to oslo airport, then from seoul airport they get a rental car and drive around the south korean countryside or whatever.

I hate cars and yet i think they genuinely have a place, however that place is in rural garages and as nationalized carshare systems. There are places that can only reasonably be reached by car, and that is the only place where cars should exist.
