I thought I was giving my kids the best childhood ever until my 4-year-old asked why we didn't own a 'bigger golf cart'

I’m putting my foot down! No more than fifteen presents!
What the actual fuck?
Also, what’s the deal with the golf cart? Why do they have a golf cart?
It's quite common here to have one for driving around neighbourhoods, as cheap ones can be $1,000+.
That still does not answer my “why” question tbh.
But I suppose that in a country where “walkable neighborhoods” are construed to be some nefarious communist plot to rob people of their freedom, not walking its a status symbol.
Yeah the why is laziness I guess? Why walk when you can drive a smaller electric buggy for small distances and a big car for big distances?
Golf carts make sense in retirement communities - presumably the companies behind them are "growing the market" by targeting families as an alternative to push chairs and walking? Also I'm guessing these are American neighbourhoods which still are designed around cars than true walkability?
