Not possible where I live, not enough public transport, not enough bike lanes and too far to travel Daily
Yeah I have zero public transit, no bike lanes, no sidewalks, no shoulders on the road - just two fast curvy lanes and a ditch. The last time I walked to the corner store I had three people stop and offer me a ride because it is too dangerous to even walk. Forget biking, no one is that stupid here. Well maybe a couple, I've seen bikes painted in memory of dead riders on the side of the road.
Sounds like you live in a garbage area
Yeah, never begrudge people for driving since they often do because there is no reasonable alternatives. Begrudge people for not voting for more public transport, better (denser) zoning, and removal of mandatory ridiculous parking requirements.
That's what they all say. I usually assume people are just to lazy to ride their bike or feel like public transport is too much of an inconvenience. Nobody ever wants to "downgrade" and thus this planet is utterly fucked.
Pro tip don't assume
