There was a lot of horse shit everywhere before cars.
You could go back to bicycles but that's not great when you have a family of groceries and kitty litter to carry home in the rain.
Or when need a trip to the hospital or any other emergency.
So yes, many people need a car, and it enables personal freedom.
I live in a small town you can walk end to end in 15 minutes, it has everything you need in a small area, but a car still makes life easier and more fun.
How do you propose we structure society where you don't need cars?
