I was wondering a good 30 seconds who the fuck Carbrian was
Try living here without one lol it's quite difficult and we try for years to get to a point where we can be free of the car
Can't argue with that. The US pretty much has no cycling infrastructure (and those "can count them on one hand" exceptions don't count)
I've done some bicycle-only stretches in my life. It's funny how literally every person I knew assumed I'd gotten my driver's license suspended for DUIs.

And constantly eating fast food from disposable dishes with a plastic fork. 🙄
What? Do you want fast food places to give you reusable dishes and silverware with a carry out order?
Do you bring it back or is fast food just gonna get really expensive?

Man, I cannot stand eating even chips in a car, yet this guy ate a whole lobster meal with butter dressing in it. Just seeing the thumbnail sends me shivers.
Meanwhile in Scotland:

I can think of few places that are more uncomfortable to dine on than a car seat.
...actually, car seats are pretty uncomfortable places to do anything, really. You expect to be able to do stuff comfortably there, but you just can't. It's weird. And at the same time it's not so uncomfortable that you stop doing stuff there entirely. And you're like "what's wrong with me?" but then you realise it's not your fault after all - it's the cars that are weird.
They live in the car because they cannot afford to live in a real house or flat. This is not the car's fault.
Actually car centric design is one of the biggest factors that contributes to the housing affordability crisis happening in North America. So it is at least partially car dependancy's fault they cannot afford their own place.
Here's some support for this claim.
