    People who advocate for better public transportation usually also advocate for walkable neighborhoods. Your grandparents would not need a car to go to grocery, it’ll be at a walking distance. Same for doctors.

    As for emergencies, yes, a car would be nice. But you can always get a can in that situation. No need to destroy the planet every other day.

    Let me ask you this, have you ever done anything outside of a car only dystopia?

        Are you willingly missing the point? Those town exist like this due to having a car centered society. Look at any other country where car isn’t the only means of transportation. Towns are closer together, with shared infrastructure so that such a situation does not arise in the first place. That’s what everyone’s advocating for. No one’s calling you a monster for using cars in a car dependent society. But realize that things can be better, and vote for change whenever possible.

        And about the privileged thing, I literally grew up in rural India lol.

        Edit: Also, who called you any word? Don’t play victim here.

            What? Do you think using a truck to carry goods for hundreds of people and using a car everyday mostly to transport one person are same things?

            Also, who said anything about destroying a car? I said that car culture is destroying our planet, which is a fact. You’re the one taking it personally lol.
