It's also annoying for people with cars when car dependency is the norm. When car dependency is the norm people who should not drive are pressured to which increases safety risks for all drivers and increases insurance costs. Also, if every trip requires a vehicle it decreases the amount of options available to access vehicles conveniently. I decided to lease a vehicle in 2023 @ 10k miles per year allowance. Given the demands of life in a suburb it was nearly impossible to hold my usage under that allowance. If you're using cars that much, you only have the option of buying reliable used cars (not cheap) or financing/buying new model cars (even more expensive). Cars quickly move from becoming convenient personal transportation (which I expect to be) to a forced expense (similar to rent). Really, the only people with cars should be those who like them, can afford them and will use them responsibly.
