    I’m new to this community, but don’t feel like this post resonates with my views.

    Do we hate cars because they are spewing out CO2 and are more risky to drive than most other alternatives, or because driving a car is isolating, toxic and boring?

    I believe infrastructure made for cars makes for a super ugly and detaching area. I hate cars because they make places less cozy

      Why not all of those

      Cars are a pollutant that is accelerating climate change.

      Cars are a danger to everyone involved.

      Driving is isolating as compared to walking or biking or commuting.

      Car-first infrastructure makes cities uglier and uglier.

      These are all true.

      Personally I hate cars for all the reasons you mentioned and more.

      The article certainly speaks more to the “dangerous” part as well as to general car-focused and also fascist state tendencies, but it’s at minimum adjacent to c/fuckcars matters.
