Well cars are polluting the planet, I thought we had a right to breathe?
Cars cause unsafe environments, and I'd like the freedom for walking and biking.
Cars are loud and obnoxious, I need the right to sleep.
We are working in this community with the shared belief that cars are creating a less human environment. I understand that driving is your right, that's completely okay. I'm going to recommend not driving to places within walking or biking distance, and to avoid idling as much, for a realistic step in the right direction.
Obviously, banning cars altogether isn't achievable. It is definitely not political. If you're coming in here with a closed mindset, I'd recommend avoiding engagement with other posts in !fuckcars.
Anyways, I hope you have a great day, make the choices you feel are right.

There are plenty of parks where people can walk and cycle, I used to have one near where I lived back when I lived in the suburbs.
Anyway I live far away from a city so walking or riding a bike to places isn't doable for me (I don't like doing it either I have aces and pains from too much physical activity, old age does that to you) 4 hours to drive into the nearest town, not even really quite a town either, more like a village. I literally have a cooler in my truck so I can get meat home without it thawing. I think you are very right, this community isn't really for me, it's more for city folks who live in downtown close to their local store or park.
Thanks for explaining. While I am way against cars, I don't see another alternative in that situation. I think I got the poor image of you from your original comment and your user. I'd just recommend getting a car with better efficiency or a hybrid maybe.

If I had money I would, still using my grandfather's old pickup truck from the 70s. If I could I'd buy a newer car (can't afford it), though I don't think there are better ones made these days, all the pickup trucks they make nowadays are supposedly gas guzzlers way more than my old one is (makes sense since they're much bigger).
Jokes aside, the solution for him is to get a car with better efficiency and to drive less. Maybe make things less political and religious. Yes, fuck cars, but I've lived away from everything before, and driving is basically the only solution for commutes, unfortunately. Maybe getting an EV or hybrid would've helped the solution.
The solution is not trying to live like a fucking feudal lord on his fucking plantation and expecting everyone else to pay to clean up the mess he makes driving 4 hours 6 times a week just to get fucking groceries.
