    Having a car makes it easier because society picks up the externalities and hides the harms that you do. So yes, it’ll feel easier because you’re not seeing the whole picture or paying the real cost

      I need a car for work so getting rid of it is not an option either way so I don’t feel any guilt about using it to haul groceries. There’s a lot to improve infrastructure-wise to encourage other means of transportation but I don’t see cars as inherently bad. It’s only bad when you force everyone to get one (or two) to even be able to live their lives.
