    Not a single person here is claiming you can live in a completely car free society. If you had the capacity to read what I wrote in my initial comment you wouldn’t be responding right now. Let me quote it for you:

    The conversation isn’t about needing cars, it’s about having car lines due to so many cars. If it were actually as small a number as that then no, we wouldn’t have lines like this, because that’s about the rate that developed european countries have for pickup/dropoff car rates. And those people are the ones telling you it’s not a problem in their country.

    So yeah, you are making a strawman. You put up an argument stating that people don’t think we need cars (never once mentioned in this thread) and then you attacked that.
