Because you're a farmer. There are so many scenarios where a car-free existence is impossible, or extremely difficult, that blanket statements about "not giving anything up" only applies to people who don't have much and don't do much in the first place. If all you do is watch TV and order pizza then going car-free doesn't make much difference. But if you are a regional sales rep and travel five states, you likely would be giving up your JOB for one. Just sayin'. Easier for some than others.
