Cyclists can’t afford cars?

• xsmasher 9y ago
  Cars are a tremendous waste of space in cities; they waste space on the road and waste more space for parking. They also destroy the roadway and (non-electric ones) pollute the air. Even if you like driving, you should be happy when other people walk, cycle, or use public transit; it reduces traffic for you.

  I thought that was a rather odd comment even for Musk, I guess some people really do live in a bubble.

  Literally can't - yes, many people literally can't get the money in their hands to lease/buy a car. Figuratively can't - yes, some people don't make enough money to justify a car, whether that is a monthly lease, large upfront cost, insurance, etc.. when they attempt to fit it in their budget, the budget ends up negative or pushes out elements of higher utility. of course, this requires living somewhere that actually supports non-car infrastructure.
