Car ownership is a lifestyle choice which in most cases doesn't make financial sense on its own.
I am not sure.
I don't own a car now I live in Mk and have a station within 2 minutes of the front door and ( although i hate them) an OK bus service within an acceptable walk. I wasn't using the car so I got rid. It works for me now but if/when I move I will have to reassess, even if i just move in the town. If i went out to one of the villages it would be almost impossible, even today, to not have a car.
When I lived in a village near North Yorkshire ( not THAT far from the county town) I HAD to own a car or I did not leave the village, I could not shop or get to work. There was no public transport. These days I could get shopping delivered but I would still have no way of getting to work without a car.
I think we have to be practical. We should focus on greener forms of traction for cars. They aren't going away, despite the star trek like fantasies of some here.
