The “peak car” was a temporary dip associated with the Great Recession and crippling student loan payments. Since the recovery, once they get a good job, almost every millennial I know has a car. Even my brother, who advocates for dense car-free communities, owns and uses a car. It has become a real pain, here where there aren’t enough parking spaces for all those cars. Electric cars don’t eliminate the central maladies of private car ownership. Self-driving cars are an excuse to justify maintaining unhealthy built environments, and like the Hyperloop I don’t trust in it until it is actually usable. The highway system is clogged and cannot be expanded in the destinations where people need to go. There are many things that are broken. http://www.autonews.com/article/20170227/RETAIL/302279963/the-millennials-are-coming http://www.autonews.com/article/20170227/RETAIL/302279963/th... https://www.citylab.com/life/2011/10/suburban-sprawl-ponzi-scheme/242/ https://www.citylab.com/life/2011/10/suburban-sprawl-ponzi-s...
