It’s actually amazing that reducing the number of car trips would make driving more enjoyable.
I’m not telling people who love cars to stop driving. I own a car myself! I just want to live in a world where I’m not forced to use it for every single daily task.
So, yeah, it would be amazing if you didn’t have to take your car to work or school or the grocery store. Maybe you would still choose to! But the beauty of it is that a good slice of people would say, “geez, why am I paying this car payment and insurance and gas when I only use the car twice a week, maybe our family can go down to one car or keep our cars for longer.”
But man, this anti-car movement has gone completely off the deep end, to the point where it's practically become a religion where pedestrian walkways and bike paths will bring about a utopian society and cars and highways are the devil to be defeated.
The only thing reducing the number of cars on the road is going to do, is make it more enjoyable to use a car.
