@Hackwar
After watching all of your videos over the last years, I did change my opinion quite a lot. I'm a father of 2 young kids with a dog and 6 years ago we bought quite a big (used) car. I still consider that to be the right purchase at the time, but I also know, that when this car goes to the scrapyard in 5+ years, we will downsize considerably. I don't see us ditching cars altogether, but I seriously plan to drive something half the size and at least as importantly: far less. My wife already switched from driving to work by car to a bike and I actually never started driving by car in the first place.

And with our kids being able to ride their bikes themselfs now, we don't need the space for the stroller, etc. anymore. I'm hoping to reduce my yearly mileage quite a lot in the next year, even though we plan on going on vacation(s) for the first time in several years. I do see the need to reduce the number of cars on our streets substantially.

The Fifth Rule: You have taken yourself too seriously.
