Wow there is so much wrong with this post I don't even know where to start.

Widespread car usage has caused an enormous amount of harm. It has destroyed American cities, killed thousands of people directly, tens of thousands more with sedentary lifestyle diseases, and burned a truly enormous amount of fossil fuels into CO2, and locked in the infrastructure to continue to do so for decades. It's an absolutely enormous tragedy.

Cars are also useful and have helped a lot of things, but they should not be the default choice of transportation.
