Honestly, I bought my last car a decade ago.
Cars aren't that great for a lot of reasons (my stress level, my city's livability, the environment), and getting rid of the idea of car ownership was one of those huge life decisions that I made that I've never, ever regretted.
I don't use car sharing services - that whole industry is toxic for the drivers, I sometimes take public transportation, and every few years, I take a flight.
Everything else is done by bike. I'm happy, I'm healthy, and I'm looking forward to the rest of my life without owning another car.

And yeah, with that profile, in that location, I take his point. But not everybody is that lucky :)
