On the contrary, its cars that impose extra taxes and regulatory burdens. You absolutely need someone's permission to use one. They cause alienation from each other and introduce friction to the social resilience of communities.
Are you an Agorist? "Agora" is a Greek word for "public square or market". I don't see a lot of functional public squares and grassroots level open markets with cars driving through them.
Cars are the only way to get to most markets. And the largest markets today are invisible because they operate online & operate almost entirely via motor vehicle deliveries.
Cars being the only way to get to most markets is a result of authoritarian policies. Cities that grew naturally before cars and Central Planning work better for people because they grew with freedom.
So you think there would be no market for cars if not for govt policy – this the same govt which originally tried to ban & cripple the market for cars?
You think people would rather just walk & carry shit everywhere? My neighborhood is great for walking & most people still drive golf carts everywhere.
