@straphanger But people who live in the city are disadvantaged by nature, that's a natural law? Obviously it's less invasis when several people share a car to get into nature, compared to bunch of people within a steel monster. I assume everyone wants to get out of the city often, which results in trains going directly into nature, when driving cars is not an option. Or do you speak of people who are happy when they are only in cities? Is it possible?

@Sprbr Yes, the whole predicate of "people who live in cities" is inherently a disadvantage. The idea of "get into nature" is problematic. People need access to real nature for mental health. If you can point at which council official planted the tree, it's not the real deal.

I, for one, am happy with my car and haven't sat in a traffic jam for years. And I'll be even happier when the next one is electric and the government continues to invest in the roads.

@Sprbr ooh, there's actually a new book summarizing the science about this called Traffication. pelagicpublishing.com/products

Cover of the linked book. 
Title: Traffication
Subtitle: how cars destroy nature & what we can do about it
Graphic: a circle is filled with a pretty picture of garden creatures including a dandelion, rabbit, songbird, frog, hawk, and other plants and bugs. The circle has a  diagonal through it (commonly connotating 'do not enter' or 'not allowed').
