Yes, agreed. Driving at least in the american context should be understood as basically bimodal: at one end a regressive tax on the poor and at the other a luxury that allows the wealthy to live in the segregated enclaves they value. Both ends need to be addressed and it will make for a lot of changes in the middle too. But there's no solution that doesn't involve completely rewriting transportation.
