You're right. That said, ideally the government could work to reduce those exceptional needs, like having more kindergartens or providing transport for medical care.

...which is what some government's do through the provision of an environment in which people can afford to own cars.

The argument that there are currently great reasons for automotive mobility isn't affected by the notion that a set of imagined circumstances could enable people to stop being reliant on cars in the future.

Yes, I fully agree, that's why I started my post with "you're right".

The goverment could do all those things but the reality is, if you don't live in a city and/or have kids, you need a car, period.
