If only.
Don't underestimate the power of a well-established social norm.
I gave up car ownership just over a year ago and, practically, it has been dead easy. Socially, though, its been a surprise; as though I had just declared myself to be a visitor from Mars.
My observation is that many people will still drive even when they are broke and struggling to feed their kids. Even if they work locally.

Down here if I'm on my bike and see someone I know they always say 'wheres your car?'.

I guess we're all going to need fat tyres for those kiddy-trailors.. and automatic weapons.

This. They could be on their last shekel, their kids starving, their house alternately ablaze and flooded due to climate change, and they'll still drive a third of a mile to get the kids to school.
Lazy selfishness will be the end of us all, and not just the lazy and selfish. It's so inevitable I'm often tempted to give in and join them, but I feel someone must make a stand against such societal idiocy.
