> Personal crap storage That is a precise descriptor for my trunk. I believe you are correct with your assessment. Might depend if the "driver" would need a license. If so I believe people will still spend money on cars. I don't think denser living is attractive either for that matter. As a student I would have loved it, otherwise nature is quite soothing. I am amazed that it is the "green" parties that want to solve housing crisis with more urbanisation. I don't get how suburbs are subsidized. High density housing will be subsidized and only affordable by giants. You will not own anything here. I live in a high density house in a city. At some point I want out of here.

Examples of common and "hidden" car centric subsidies: - Roads are basically free to use, transit users must pay a fare. Gas tax and other fees do not come close to the listed or actual cost (e.g. missing DOT salaries, equipment) of road maintenance. - Number and magnitude of Federal and state grants for roads vs transit/bike capital projects - Parking minimums in zoning code - Public land allocated to highways and roads vs transit/bike/pedestrian - Public land allocated to free or massively discounted parking vs bike racks, bus stops, etc - In winter time, streets are plowed for free by the town but sidewalks must be cleared by private individuals. Bike lanes typically not cleared at all or are occupied with parked cars.
