I have never had a car. I never grew up with easy access to a vehicle throughout my entire life and even now I do not have one.

This addiction is wholly alien to me. Cars are luxuries to me. I live in a city 1.5M people and the city is not a walking city imo, and takes 2h+ to get across the city.

I do not travel the entire city unless necessary, and instead I spend most of my time in 1/4 of the city. I bike, scooter, walk, skateboard and generally I don't miss the vehicle.

there are two exceptions. Moving into a new house, and going camping or hiking. Cars are unnecessary for the rest of my lifestyle.

it would only be a negative in many ways - with the costs, the insurance, the parking, the maintenance, the oil changes, the collisions etc. again...going out of the city ...and moving.

How do you transport the groceries? I feel like this is my only problem, 90% of the reason why I need a car. I would be unwilling to use some kind of cargo bike in the winter.

Just carry them, or use a small cart. When the grocery store is small and it's a convenient walk across the neighborhood it's actually a pleasant experience that you can do several times a week.

here at least that just leads to ditches and bike paths strewn with shopping carts.

Travel by car has covered the land with pavement, polluted the air, and filled our public spaces with endless noise.
