The train doesn't stop at the recycling centre. Nor does it stop at my childrens' schools. Ditto my office, the supermarket, IKEA, the house of the person I just bought weed from.

The layout of our towns expanded with the ubiquity of cars. Services agglomerated and became situated where land was cheap rather than central.

Bikes and light mass transit have their use cases but removing cars is not feasible for the majority of households
