Is it really "handing" if it's market priced?

  1. The ability to transit from one place to another is a right of the people of a city, that should not be modulated by one's socioeconomic class (or medical condition or sex etc). 2. If rich people can zoom around the city much faster than poor people, then rich people have more of this right than poor people. Not good. 3. Crucial to this argument is that the price is prohibitive in nature, and that transit by car is a rivalrous good. So other rights, such as easy access to food, don't fall so easily to this argument because poor people can still buy nutritious food from their wages, even if rich people can buy more expensive and better food.

  Yes. Markets heavily bias in favour of the richest consumer.
