Yea, that and the HN bubble is strong here. Transport is one of those issues that's divided along class lines. As you go up in class, you become more segregated from your fellow city goers and this plan exemplifies that. A person at the poverty line takes the bus, a little more money, a car that you park and walk to, maybe a plane ticket somewhere, but at a certain point, your driver drops you off at the entrance to your building and you have a personal jet on standby at the nearest satellite airport fueled and ready to take you anywhere in privacy.
- hinkley 9y agoGrandparent talks about freedom but it's only freedom for the upper and middle class. That's not freedom, that's privilege. In cities where public transportation is expected, places you want to go tend to be clustered better, so you can walk/bike/bus/train to several things at once. "Location location location" has to consider foot traffic.

Just because some people are unable to exercise their rights it doesn't mean that others should not, let alone that those rights suddenly become mere privileges. You should try your best to improve the life of everyone around you, not drag down those who are better off just to force them into everyone's misery.
