    This checks out.

    Many people are really emotionally invested in cars and car-centric life. It’s depressing. I think sometimes it’s a defense mechanism- convince yourself the car world is good actually so you don’t have to feel bad. Tell yourself that people who live in walkable areas are just privileged jerks out of touch with the world, and then it doesn’t feel so bad.

      It’s so much of the “well what are the options? We’ve tried nothing, remain unwilling to try anything different, and we’re out of ideas other than to add a lane”.

      Like the author, I enjoy driving, but I hate the idea of needing to drive everywhere.
