> But since so many Americans live in the suburbs without easy access to public transportation, car ownership just makes the best sense for some people. And I doubt many folks would have a problem with that, except for the fact that car transportation is by far the most heavily subsidized lifestyles around without even factoring environment or societal external costs. Add suburbs to that and the people living the worst possible lifestyle for the environment are being bailed out by the rest of the country who does not live like that. That's my major problem with car culture in the US. It's basically welfare for the wealthiest of Americans.
