A lot of progressive leaning regions are actively trying to slowly legislate cars out of existence, see the camera system in the UK that's being sttacked by the so called "blade runners".
Fact is cars are real freedom, and the next time the government declares a pandemic and determines that public transit is too dangerous, a car is your only movement option for going outside of bike range.
the gubbermint is coming to steal our cars so we have to live in their bicycle dystopia

Cars are so free. I love freely driving down a predetermined path set by a road that is jammed every morning by other people freely driving the same free path as me to our free job that most of us freely hate. I'm so fucking free.
Only price of purchase plus ongoing licencing, registration and maintenance costs. Freedom!
