I sometimes wonder if I've already bought my last gas powered car. Glad to see things moving in this direction.
I'll gladly scrap mine and revert to walking and a wheelbarrow if it gets us out of this mess.
IMO you shouldn't decrease your quality of life for the idea. It's better to push politicians into spending your tax money on green infrastructure
I mean, things like eating less beef are important too.
Not owning a car increases my quality of life, by leaving money for goods and services that I actually enjoy (and not being quite as crushed by the cost of living). But I get that it's not viable everywhere.
If public transport was more reliable I wouldn't need a car. But since it isn't I'd be stranded and not able to really get to any large towns. If you live in a city it's probably much more practical to not own a vehicle.
Unfortunately if you live in a city everything else is probably much more expensive anyway, especially housing, so you may not get any benefit from not owning a vehicle.
