Well, some people do... but those people are out of touch with reality.
I have one word for those people:
Ambulance.
I'm glad you said it this time. My fingers are starting to get tired from harping on them all the time.
And I will fight you before you confiscate my last motorcycle.
My completely unfounded hypothesis is that a lot of these guys are just all sour grapes because they are in a position wherein they can't afford a car (or a motorcycle, or whatever). So they think everyone else should be miserable like them, too.
The environmental aspects I get, but I also get the feeling that's actually just a post-hoc rationalization to the whole no-personal-transportation sect.
I had three cars and a motorcycle at one point, though now I'm down to one car and a bicycle. But whatever makes you feel superior, I guess. Fuck the people with legitimate ideas to improve life and the environment.
Certainly with the reality of suburban life in the US.
Reality is what we make it. Fuck cars
Nah they're great. And they're not going away, thankfully.
