> there are too many cars not being used.

What do you mean by this? Do you mean too much infrastructure dedicated to cars or inefficiencies in the average cars' usage?

The latter, I think. I owned a car when I lived in Manhattan. Its rent was an appreciable percentage of mine. In retrospect, I should have sold it, and rented. But I was emotionally attached ;)

Right, I see. I think that's a completely different issue, especially given where you lived.

The idea that cars sit idle too much does not hold water. Cars age through usage, not over time.
