You may like cars but you're not entitled to public spaces to park it. And without those, you may find that owning a car is rather cumbersome.

- pfortuny 6y agoHe is not entitled but (at least in my country) you pay a tax to be able to drive it (where the car is registered), so probably not "entitlement" but some right he does have.
- ajmadesc 6y agoBut does that tax levied on that car / maintenance expenses cover the costs of road maintenance, excess utility infrastructure from the sprawl that driving infrastructure incentivises, negative health and environmental externalities. I highly highly doubt it.
- quotemstr 6y agoI'd be perfectly happy paying for the public space my car occupies. I'm a fan of congestion charges and tolling every road. But bans on cars altogether? No way in hell.
- lkbm 6y agoHas anyone mentioned banning cars here? I know people talk about it — I talk about it, semi-seriously — but I don't see any comments here mentioning banning cars (except yours), and it's not in the article.
