Owning a car gives me the freedom to do a ton of things I simply wouldn't be able to do if I relied on public transportation / ubers / rental cars:
- Last minute or long term road trips.
- Get my 3 kids to 3 different activities in different parts of the city after school.
- Pick up cheap furniture from Craigslist/ FB Marketplace as soon as it's posted.
- Camping
- Coach youth sports and transport all the necessary gear to practices/games/tournaments.
I vote pro public transportation every time and use it for day to day work commuting. But it's really not hard to imagine ways that personal car ownership equals freedom for a lot of people.
