[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So why do Americans think that is ok, but somehow residents in other countries embrace the biking and mass transit options available to them? Why do we let cars rule our land use and lives?[/quote]

Cars make people's lives better. Most people prefer to drive. Sorry. [/quote]

There are about 42,000 people in the US whose lives were not made better by cars last year. Their loved ones' lives last year were probably also not made better by cars.

Sometimes planes crash. Maybe we should ban air travel too. [/quote]

In 2018, the total number of people killed in larger commercial air travel, in the whole world, was 538.

Aircraft crash deaths are preventable. Road crash deaths are preventable too. But only if we stop shrugging our shoulders at 40,000 people per year killed on US roads, year after year after year.[/quote]

You're welcome to whatever nutty views you like, but obviously most people think cars are a net positive in their lives or they wouldnt drive them. [/quote]
