The fact that you see the issue as a binary choice means you've spent too much time in your "fuck cars" echo chamber.

Your biggest logical fallacy is assuming that everyone who doesn't have a choice but to own a car in order to survive wants things to be that way.

I don't have a choice. I have to cross a highway to get into town, and riding my ebike isn't safe at all. Before that I lived out in the country about 15 miles from the city.

I also vote for every public transit measure my city has, as well as politicians who support increasing public transit. Yet your assertion is that I'm a narcissistic monster who wants the world to burn.

    I don't have a choice.

    Because the secret police would kill you if you moved to the other side of the highway? Or do you have a medical condition that can only be treated by herbs growing in that one stretch of suburbia?

    There's always a choice. The choice is generally much more difficult and less convenient than doing nothing. So most people choose to think they have no choice.
