I doubt most of those "millions" who converted to car-free can even afford an internet, maybe that's why we don't have millions of converts coming to this forum.
I know this is hard for you to believe, but not everyone is as lacking in moral values as you seem to be. Many people are car-free for unselfish reasons: they are concerned about the environment; they want their children and grandchildren to have a future; they want their community to have clean air to breathe; they want an environment where children and the elderly can walk around and not be in constant fear of being mown down by a car.
