Why are some people here on fuckcars still debating on what the best car is ? I mean, most of the time the best car is no car.

edit : that was a genuine question. I wasn’t expecting such wrath from car enthusiasts.

    I live in Germany and know some people that are dependend on Cars and do not like it at all. Mostly outside of cities its just not possible to get to work without a car. If they would have alternatives they would switch.

    Pfff, cry me a river. I know many of these people as well, and none, absolutely none of them has ever given any thought about where they live and work, but then complain that there’s no train running between those places. Yeah, trains do not go where you want them to, news at eleven.

    And no, don’t start with the „not everybody can choose“ speech. Owning a car in Germany is expensive. You know who cannot choose where to place home and work? People who cannot afford cars. They have to find something that’s either walkable, bikeable, or on a public transport route.

    For the vast majority of Germans, owning a car is a deliberate choice.
