From your earlier posts it’s clear that you’ve had a rough trot, you have things to work through and, dare I say it, a lot of growing up to do.
I hope you get the help that you need.

Very anecdotal I know, but that certainly wasn’t my experience, I’d regularly see near-militant comments to anything even remotely suggesting cars had a place, as well as outright trolling or brigading of other subs. If I was just unlucky that’s cool, but it did seem pretty consistent.

Bingo, though the r*ddit fuckcars certainly took the name literally which has given the one here something of an inherited reputation to shake free of.
I love cars and would likely continue to own them even if I no longer needed them day to day. That’s vilified on the other site but seems fine here, as it should be.

But Dr Terrill said the easiest and cheapest solution was to implement congestion charge
This is the kind of thinking that got us into this mess. If you want people to take PT then improve PT rather than making non-PT worse. Don’t punish people for suffering at the hands of a problem that decades of successive governments, the same ones that now want to charge them for it, have created, contributed to, or simply ignored. If someone has spent tens of thousands on something that costs thousands more to register, insure, fuel, and maintain, so they can sit in a stop-start grind for 60-90 min just to get to work, how bad must the alternatives be?
The simple fact is every day heaps of people are trying to get to or from the same place at the same time. PT definitely helps, and would have to remain part of the solution in one form or another, but ultimately it still masks the same place, same time issue. I can’t help but think that getting away from the “CBD” mindset would remove so many issues. And shorter term, stop trying to force people back into the office. Less people needing to go anywhere at all, and those that do aren’t all converging on the same point. Winning.
Of course you also have groups like CBD landlords, car manufacturers, fuel companies etc etc as well as govt budgets that have a vested interest in things not changing, and the safest political move is to just take more money from people who will grumble, but have no choice but to cough up. Rinse and repeat.
Shitting on cars seems popular but imho that is lazy activism, the problem isn’t “cars”, it’s a bunch of things all contributing to them being necessary in situations where they shouldn’t be.
