Thinking about the closer on the most recent @TheWarOnCars podcast: the notion that cars are actually great, it's just that we way overuse them.
It's intuitively accurate? I mean, even I, as an #ActuallyAntiCar person (meaning that I don't like driving them, or riding in them, or looking at them, or thinking about them, and I actively wish there were fewer of them so that I'd have to deal with them less often), want to be able to rent a car and use it for a specific purpose once in a while.
Been thinking about it too, as I currently have a boyfriend on crutches = living a very small part of the disability carer's lifestyle. I do need a car to get him to appointments (buses too bumpy), and am glad we have one (/shared car options).
What I don't need: to be able to get around the inner city super fast. The right to more time at traffic lights than pedestrians. The right to get places quicker than we would on a bus or a bicycle, in our dense local area.
