Lot’s of reasons, the list is quite long, you don’t really have to read that all x) :
*- cars maintenance is annoying
*- parking is annoying
*- on street parking and big parking lots are ugly and make places worse to live in
*-cars are extremely dangerous
*-cars are too loud
*-cars are bad for the environment
*-cars are an inefficient way to get around in most cases
*-there is too much car infrastructure
*-car infrastructure is really expensive, a lot of that tax money would be of better use elsewhere
*-I’d rather support public transport and the implementation of good bicycle and walking infrastructure
*-walking and riding a bike is healthy and can be really pleasant
*-I can read stuff while using public transport (like lemmy posts)
*-driving a car in big cities is scary and stressful
*-trains are cool
*-screw the car industry and their lobbying
*- in the few cases I do want to use a car, I can easily rent one
These are just the reasons from the top of my head, there are probably more.
