Not to mention making a car a requirement for transportation doesn't just exclude those who can't afford it - it excludes children, teenagers, elderly and disabled who can't get a license or car themselves.
- noobermin 7y agoA small thing, but to grind my own political axe here, but a topic that comes up a lot on HN is infantalization of the youth in America. I personally believe that sprawl (forcing children and teens to stay home since they really can't go anywhere if they can't drive) helps perpetuate it reducing their agency. It also as dashundchen leads to isolate elderly people and people with disabilities.
