@dalias you're describing freedoms that are very nice to have but which in my lifetime I have never enjoyed. The housing crisis has forced me to rent: I have never had a door which someone else's key could not open, for example.

I'm not saying these freedoms are bad, or undesirable, or frivolous, or are ones that people pushing to diminish cultural reliance on cars shouldn't consider, only pointing out that they are not universals that everyone is being asked to give up.
