Why? I'm against private car ownership. Ask me all about it...
This article isn't very useful because it doesn't distinguish between liability and collision coverage. It doesn't matter how young the driver is, if you put them in a cheap small used car, you only need liability coverage which is pretty cheap.

Do I support the ability of people to travel to their job, shopping centers, or any destination they like?

Do I think a privately owned vehicle, which spends 90%+ of its active life being parked in spaces that could be utilized much better otherwise, is the best way to achieve those abilities?
Nope. Sorry.

Disincentives a suboptimal transportation option. Price signals are important, just like making it expensive to own property where the risk is too high. Automotive ownership and transportation is likely to never be as inexpensive as it previously was. You will either need to pay the cost or live somewhere you don’t need a car.
Also "suboptimal" is a matter of opinion.

Sounds terrible, why would you be against that?
I mean, everyone (well mostly everyone) is absolutely mortified by commercial aviation, which, like, commits literally 0.01% of those sins on a global scale?
