Because sometimes I like getting there in one hour instead of 4 by train because my route isn’t common enough to build a railroad for, so I’d have to take two trains. This goes for more than one place I sometimes need to get to. Keep in mind, I live in a properly small town currently.
You also kill a fractional human being every time you take the bus or train, the fraction is just significantly smaller. But it’s there.
You can think cars are problem while acknowledging aspects they are necessary in. Off road on a bike is ludicrously difficult, impossible on trains or busses, and dangerous at times on foot.
Acknowledging it as the problem is a fallacy, acknowledging as a tool is important. You use the right tool for the job, not the most convenient. The issue is that we live in a society that sees vice grips as good enough for the job, and anything as a hammer. Using the right tool is important but laziness is easiest.
Uh, look at the sub name.
I like cars. Love driving. I still think cities should be walkable and have good public transit. In fact I prefer driving outside big cities.
Fuckcars has always been “fuck car dependence” mostly.

it’s “not common enough to build a railroad for” because everyone is driving…
Literally not enough people for the government to spend the amount it would cost.
The efficient place to do it would go through marshland as well.
