Turns out cars don’t belong in cities, so efforts are made to undo the damage of 1960s car centric urban planning. That includes disincentivizing car ownership in cities in favor of bike lanes and transit.
TLDR: too much space wasted, too many deaths, too much noise, pollution, unpleasant neighborhoods, never-ending traffic leading to hours of labor wasted, lower tax base due to parking, sprawl, higher healthcare costs, lower access to services, extremely expensive infrastructure, etc
