Not having cars doesn't mean not having motorized transport, it just means restructuring our priorities around much more efficient forms of mass transportation, ranging from increased walkability and cycling infrastructure on a local scale, to buses, trams and trains on a larger scale, with specialised vehicles like ambulances and cargo-taxis for those rare cases where you really do need a whole motorized vehicle to yourself.

So what does society look like where you can still have ambulances and taxis but not a car for yourself?

Don't you still need roads for those? So just normal civilians can't have them?

And I won't hold my breath for local politicians to improve public transportation.

I'd love better public transportation, in addition to cars.

Civilians are still allowed to have and drive their own cars, even in Europe.

I'm all for better designed cities in America though, but it's not a car problem, and especially not a universal issue (towns are perfect).

Instead of hating on cars I think a more useful approach would be to contact your local politicians that are in charge of zoning and public transportation.

This is exactly how a lot of European cities are structured.
