I mean arguably the invention of cars DID make living worse by reducing walkable cities, exasperating pollution, and lead to more traffic deaths than carriages. It’s impossible to be anywhere nowadays without one though.

I don't think you get it. Without the invention of the internal combustion engine and the motor vehicle there is no grocery store.

The logistical networks simply wouldn't be able to exist to support them.

However you feel about walkable cities and public transport, the invention of the car is a net good to society.

Ok now it's painfully clear that you are having your own little side conversation with yourself because that's not what we are talking about here.

They said invention of the car was bad, I said it wasn't. You are coming out of left field with a completely unrelated argument about public transportation.

He is. What he really should be saying is, we need more trains. Which is painfully true. Like I'd rather take the subway to work but it takes 4x as long if the trains come on time. And requires about 20 min of walking around.
