Some types of harm that are caused or enabled by cars which are often overlooked:

  • Children left in a hot car.
  • Making it relatively easy to move a body in secret enables many murders.
  • Cars create many occasions where strangers come into protracted isolated contact with each other. Things like cab drivers. Individuals in broken down cars on lonely roads. Prostitutes getting into cars. It enables a lot of serial killer shit.

    I can see the benefit to making these kinds of private spaces more accessible, however.

    Homeless people who have a car can have shelter.

    Young adults can have a private space away from family our housemates.

    In places where housing is ridiculously expensive, these can be important things.
