You can live in your car but you can’t drive your house
But I don't need a car to go anywhere in my daily life. My bike can bring me where I need to, it doesn't cost gas, and doesn't require yearly fees for a license. Public transit for the rest. Groceries are hauled with a bike trailer or I make multiple trips on foot.
Seriously, I prefer to live with 3 roommates close to work, and have access to a toilet, shower kitchen... rather than pay for a car and gas to "live in it" and get to work.
If you have a car and drive, you may see it as some sort of tool, and have some value and utility over an apartment, but for people that already live without a car, they often just seem like a burden.
I don't want to have a 1.5 ton block of metal and need to pay gas to move it. I can move by other means.
Well yeah it makes no sense if you don’t already have the vehicle.
Everyone needs somewhere to live, not everyone needs something to drive.
