Probably not too unpopular here.
Standing waiting for the bus in my city with decent transit and I have 2 trucks rev their engines loudly past me, another one letting just clouds of pollution, watching people driving who aren’t paying attention and several people blowing cutting last second through a light. All in just 3 minutes by a small corner with light traffic.
Made me think how cars are inherently selfish. People don’t want to be around others (the fear aspect), so they drive their own bubble around. In addition to that, some go out of their way to make their cars even worse to people outside of them.
No wonder we can’t move away from them. They are a definition of our own culture
The lack of transit is due to the culture of selfishness. Are you honestly taking this as a personal attack?

That seems pretty personal to me…
And yet, I was somehow able to not take it personally despite my having similar reasons for needing a car as you.
If you’re taking that personally then I would really look inwards, and ask yourself why you took that as a personal insult.
