Owning a car comes with its costs, and that's the first thing a person from my part of the world would remind you: "Hope you can maintain a car?" The expenses associated with maintaining a car can be quite high.
I never thought I could grow up to love cars, even though I don’t own one yet, but I intend to have one in the near future. Cars make movement easier for people. I remember a rainy day when I wanted to go out, but the rain was so heavy that I couldn't walk, even with an umbrella. I stood by my window, watching private cars drive by.
I imagined myself walking downstairs to enter my car so I could go wherever I wanted at that moment. After standing for several hours, I decided to sit and wait for the rain to subside. Unfortunately, it was one of those days when the rain decided to fall nonstop until night, so I didn’t go out. I felt a bit disappointed, but I can't complain because rain is a part of nature.
People buy cars for various reasons, and it's an individual choice. I vividly remember when my uncle wanted to buy a car. A few family members advised him to build a house instead, asking, "Where would you park the car if you buy it?" I sat there, confused, reflecting on their words, and couldn't help but laugh. A person who wants to buy a car should already have a place to park it before making the purchase.
Yet, those same family members are often the ones he drives to different places, enjoying the comfort of his car and avoiding the frustrations of using public transport. In moments like this, you’ll hear them say, "Owning a car is good."
As I mentioned earlier, owning one or multiple cars depends solely on the individual. You can’t dictate how many cars someone should own, which is why we have the concept of "freedom of ownership."
Implementing a law against car ownership for families would not be a wise decision. I know a car enthusiast; if such a law were enforced, I can only imagine what would happen—perhaps he would isolate himself completely. Picture a large family; one car wouldn’t be sufficient to transport every member. If that particular car broke down and was at the mechanic's, the family would be left with no alternative and would have to rely on public transit.
I understand that having fewer cars on the road can reduce carbon dioxide emissions, which is a significant advantage for keeping the air clean and less polluted by fossil fuels.
In conclusion, I believe that whatever has a positive effect on someone often has a negative aspect as well. Property ownership is a personal choice, and no one should dictate how many properties a person should own in a lifetime. Therefore, a family’s decision to own one or multiple cars should solely depend on their preferences, and no law should govern that aspect of life.
Thanks for reading 🧡
Gone are days we used to say owning a car is nothing and not an achievement. My dear, owning a car is a big flex and saves a lot stress😅
Yeah it does saves stress
We must find sustainable ways to live but with minimal impact on our planet's environment. We have an obligation to protect our planet so that future generations can live on it too.
Of course, I have told all the things in my post that people cannot afford a car, but they buy it, then it becomes difficult to maintain it, because of which the car causes more smoke, more pollution and citizens. It becomes difficult to live here in this city.
