Who is forcing everyone to do anything?
you said that relying on public transport & bikes won’t reduce any one’s quality of life.
Even if you don’t care about physical exertion & sweat a car runs on your schedule & can leave anytime you want.

If you look at North American planning, the only thing that ever gets funded is single family sprawl and car infrastructure. Public transit gets barely any budget and bike infrastructure isn't even considered. So car dependency is forcing me to drive everywhere, and it's mandated by the government.

So do bikes, and good public transit can be just as convenient, if not moreso, than cars, because bikes and trains are much more efficient at moving people and don't get stuck in traffic.
