OK, yeah, there are some advantages to driving, being in private is nice, it's all great. But it's also a lot more expensive than taking public transit. You're spending a lot of money to be in private. And also, a lot of the reason it's so convenient is because American cities are designed that way. There's a lot of things that we've done to reduce potential fuckery and annoyance for people who drive.

Like, think about parking. Parking can be a *huge* hassle and require a lot of fucking around if there aren't parking spaces, both at wherever you live to park it when it's at home, and at your destination. American cities devote huge amounts of real estate to parking, including really valuable square footage in the middle of urban cores. If that square footage could be used for other stuff, like housing or business developments, that would be great for cities economically. Using all that space for parking is a huge cost to cities, even though it's effectively invisible. And that's just one example.

If I lived in a city with great public transportation like New York, I'd give up my car.

I think the solution is urban cores with great public transportation and park-and-ride for people coming in from suburbs or visiting.

I live in England. Running a car is much, much cheaper than taking public transport. To access a train would now take me two buses and two walks, totalling a minimum of two hours in one direction.
