Eradicating personal vehicles is not feasible.
Not owning a personal vehicle is only okay if you live in the heart of a city and don’t go outside of that little bubble. All other scenarios massively benefit from a personal vehicle; even going from one side of a city to another.

The problem here is that you have the American disease (even if you’re not American). You’re so infused with the cultural insistence that there’s only one way to do things … the way things are done now … that you literally cannot conceive of a life without cars (or guns, or with public health care). Despite this being, you know, the norm for most of the world.
