You have zero clue how hard it is to /build/ anything nice in Europe.

Copium in spades, for not being able to get a driver's license (or maybe have the money to afford a car?). I bet you a chunk of cash you actually could afford one, but it's your fear of actually becoming independent on the bus (or some other equally poor*** dependent transit means) that renders you disabled to operate as a Western adult in a real sense.
The automobile is not an "altar". The automobile is a machine that enables you to do things you could otherwise not possibly do (like go *anywhere* civilized at a minute's notice, shop for an entire month without having to carry 96 shopping bags into a bus, or go on a family road trip -- not that you understand that since you are probably nulliparous). Your fear of a machine and your envy of what it enables for your superiors is what causes you to seethe. Seethe some more.
I've lived in three continents. I currently live in Europe, I have two cars, and I plan to have more. In contrast, my brother's a bit like you w.r.t. to cars (minus the hatred). He won't drive, even though he could get a driver's license. His life is a literal pinhole, centered around where he lives, where public transit goes, and wherever he can get anyone to take him (dwindling people as time goes by). I love him, but he's going to stay in that pinhole until he learns there's more to life than his barrio, and everyone around him has moved on.
