Name one single reason why owning a car is ethical

Well all the male prostitutes and trannies in his neighborhood likely won't put up with his bullshit anymore so he has to get ersatz delivered to him from Amazon.

If you are driving around advertising bikes or something like that it's good ironically.

In order for cars to go away we need to be more 3d. I think building down would be good but maybe valleys too like some Appalachian valley with a building spanning from one hill to the other.

Because the alternative is walking through areas where you're exposed to homeless and foreigners and its very likely that such confrontations end in robbery or violence in one direction or another.

im not that anon, but outside of eating meat (which is apparently one of the worst greenhouse gas contributors) i actually have a quite minuscule carbon footprint in my opinion

>have never owned a car, just bicycle, subway, or carpool places with people (not uber or lyft, carpooling with people to shared activities)

>rarely use the heater and only set it to 62 if i do use it, ill wake up on winter mornings and the house is 54 degrees
>water use is minimal, don't have landscaping to water, even when i shower i turn on water to wet myself, turn off water, shampoo/condition/soap, then turn on water to rinse off

although to be honest my activities are more out of not wanting to spend money than worrying about greenhouse gases and stuff. but besides the meat eating i would say im doing about as well as an individual can do.

cool story bro, what you are doing literally does not matter because the mega rich are doing magnitudes more carbon emissions than you could possibly do even if you were trying for the high score.

They're not 'all good' they're about half as bad. It's like the difference between driving a corolla and a crown.

>building a new EV can produce around 80% more emissions than building a comparable gas-powered car

>researchers found that, on average, gasoline cars emit more than 350 grams of CO2 per mile driven over their lifetimes. The hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions, meanwhile, scored at around 260 grams per mile of carbon dioxide, while the fully battery-electric vehicle created just 200 grams

Of course it depends on what your electricity grid is like. Above is for the US (bad). If you're using renewable energy to charge then it's better. But there are other problems too like battery cars, especially SUVs are fuck heavy, the tires are throwing off microplastics, and it causes more road damage (built with oil).

You're less dependent on others when you own your own mode of transit & fewer people are affected by mechanical failures. If a public bus or train breaks down, dozens are left stranded until a working one shows up. When a single car or truck breaks down, less than a dozen feel that kind of pain on average.

>>2010165
>You're less dependent on others when you own your own mode of transit & fewer people are affected by mechanical failures.
This is false, when you have more options available in terms of transportation, you are able to move by mechanical failures.
> If a public bus or train breaks down, dozens are left stranded until a working one shows up. When a single car or truck breaks down, less than a dozen feel that kind of pain on average.
Because there is tons of options on Transit each thing can mitigate risk. When Cars break down especially on the highway and even get's into a huge accident which is daily everything slows to a crawl. Which I would argue is much worse than most Transit which hardly has this issue, and can use other modes of transit to offset it. If a Bus breaks down, Train exists or Shuttles, if Train breaks down, Busses exist and a replacement Train comes in. Cities and small cities are robust machines as a whole.

Also as a personal anecdote when a Car breaks down you are basically stranded, you do not have Groceries or things nearby you as you would like. When you live in more city environments, you do not need to worry as everything is within a mile radius of where you are at so it's not felt as much.

I don't hate alternatives. It just so happens that cars are the optimal solution to 99% of daily transportation needs, while giving maximum liberty to where someone can choose to go at their own time and their own pace.

Which is the true meaning of freedom and liberty for Transportation Options. Not just the Car.

This is true of literally every single mode of transportation, and is not unique or particular to automobiles.

While true, nobody's managed to come up with a way to do it better. That's why we keep seeing bullshit thread topics like "cars are unethical" to sidestep reality and transform the argument to one that car opponents think they can win.
>>

>This is true of literally every single mode of transportation, and is not unique or particular to automobiles.
It is true of Automobiles because if you setup society to be wholly reliant on it becomes that way.
>While true, nobody's managed to come up with a way to do it better.
Car Infrastructure takes up so much space and need so much maintenance to keep up with. Miles of road and pavement vast amounts of it need to be redone over and over again costing tons of time and infrastructure. Train, Cycling and Bus infrastructure have a more efficient footprint that is not high maintenance. Keep in mind if you are for car Infrastructure at the expense of all other options you are definitely for the oil industry and the countless wars to die for it.
>"cars are unethical" to sidestep reality and transform the argument to one that car opponents think they can win.
Not much different from your argument about Cars being the most efficient form of transit and nobody has done it better,
when there is laws and heavy lobbying anytime anyone pushes alternatives to the table and throws out wild conspiracy that all cars will be taken away. If you look at the chart you will notice car Infrastructure exists in all countries even in Europe it's 48% in America it tilts heavily in 98%. Asking for a balanced infrastructure is not antithetical to the car as much as it is having options for everyone to have the most liberty and freedom to live the life they would like in the pursuit of happiness.
