Cars are like guns and truffles. They're fine when they're used correctly.
Being obsessed with them (either for or against) is weird.
Is it even possible to get this genie back in the bottle without massive, massive, massive property & equity devaluation? We can't just abandon trillions of dollars in housing stock in sprawling urban areas. And bus systems are just too impractical for the size and shape of our cities and towns. And I say that as someone who moved to NYC so that I wouldn't need a car. But that's not a workable solution for the general public.
