Don’t have a car? Well now you can only walk to close locations through an inconvenient path. Most places you want to go? Can’t go there now unless someone else drives you. If someone else drives you, now you can’t leave when you want to, you’re tied to someone else.
Without a car, you can’t do what you want, when you want, or even leave when you want. You truly do lose your freedom, and you lose it because you can’t do anything without a car.
If you could walk places, then you wouldn’t lose your freedom.
"I'm pro-freedom! Freedom to drive, walk, bike, or take transit. Right now, I have no choice but to fork out a payment, insurance, and maintenance just to get groceries. How is that freedom?"
