While we think of automobiles as an integral part of American life, the fact is that they’re just objectively a bad form of transportation. They’re costly, they don’t scale well, and they’re a leading cause of death in the country. The oil and automobile lobbies have done a lot of work to make it feel like there’s no way we could live without cars, but the fact remains that it’s very possible to take significant steps to diminish the relevance of cars in everyday life. This week, Adam sits with Sarah Goodyear and Doug Gordon, hosts of the War on Cars podcast, and the authors along with Aaron Naparstek of the new book LIFE AFTER CARS: Freeing Ourselves from the Tyranny of the Automobile.
