Spoken like a true dillwinkle. Our society is centered around transportation and mobility. The choice to not own a vehicle is also the choice to not take that job that's just a little too far to walk or a little outside the city even though it offers you and your family the promise of a better life. We live in a fast paced goal oriented capitalistic society which was established a centuries ago. The "choice" to not drive a car is also a choice to limit horizons and potential. If you call that a choice you are even further gone than I had suspected. I'm not talking about one persons choice to not participate, I'm talking about our leadership ushering in a new generation of energy that will carry us for the next few centuries so no one has to make the sort of "choices" you are proposing. Why are you so opposed to this?
