But, people still do need larger vehicles for various tasks.
If those tasks aren’t daily occurrences, get a fucking rental.
You don’t need a monster truck in your driveway because one day you might have to move a couch or a fridge.
If cities weren’t designed around cars, you wouldn’t need them to go to the shops.
If zoning laws weren’t so fucking retarded you could have stores that weren’t forced to have ridiculous parking spaces next to them and could have actual city centers.
Cars are an aberration, we shouldn’t have to rely on them to live.
But I’m not too interested in walking place to place in negative degree or triple degree weather or paying thousands of dollars every year for a rental. Maybe if they made rentals more affordable, it’d make more sense for more people.
For a family of 5, a station wagon is more practical than an SUV or a truck. For a family of 6+, a minivan is the better choice. For people who need to haul a lot of stuff, a van is the best option. Americans just have an unhealthy obsession with massive vehicles and trucks. The only time an SUV or truck is the better option is when driving off-road. And that only applies to SUVs and trucks that are actually designed to be driven off-road, which is a small minority.

Imagine a world where the value of an investment is more important than the quality of life. Would make a nice Orwell story. /s
Do you ever visited an european City?
