That's the "plan" (not actually an organized plan, but emergent behavior). All of this stuff, bike lanes, banning plastic stuff, emissions and electric car rules, carbon tax, it means nothing to all of us that are well off but it pushes the very poor even deeper under. We really only want to see them when they bring us a meal or package and otherwise to keep away from us and our city life, and to not become affluent enough to get in our way. I think we're heading back to what I see in old British shows the aristocrats were waited on by dirt poor domestic staff that cost almost nothing relative the the wealth of the rich. In other words, much greater inequality. Every rule that gets implemented, however well intentioned, only works to increase this inequality.
