I must say although I enjoy cars and driving I do wish public transport was better like Europe or some Asian countries.
Cars are fun, car dependency is not
I agree entirely with you here. All these nutjobs like *ndrew t*te who think we're coming for their hobby cars are missing the point. I couldn't care less if you like to drive cars or not. Heck, I would probably by myself lots of cool cars if I had tons of money. People don't commute by car because they like driving, they commute by car because it's the easiest mode of transport in their area. And a lot of cities would benefit immensely if that mode was instead changed to a combination of walking, biking, and tramming or similar.
