But you are expecting everyone to make sacrifices for your benefit, because non-car drivers are significantly subsidising car drivers. Lets make car cost exactly what they should be then, things like lets make real-estate used for roads in cities go into rental costs for those roads (via taxes, road tolls etc.), lets price the environmental costs appropriately, including the health cost from noise etc. If you still want to pay for your car then, go ahead, but don't expect others to subsidise your living.

>"But you are expecting everyone to make sacrifices for your benefit, because non-car drivers are significantly subsidising car drivers." You are making off base assumptions. I am not expecting anything. If they sell cars I'll buy one. If they don't I'll get busy with something else. I am not the one deciding government policies. As for subsidizing - I fucking work all my life and I pay taxes. I do not decide how my taxes are spent. Go complain to your corporate fat cats who own the government. Do not expect me to line up and follow your recommendations. Also get out of HN and hi tech industry in general. It is "subsidized" in exactly the same way so some people can make more money than the others and live in a way they see fit for themselves.
