How are motor vehicles subsidized?
----------------------
Loosely enforced speed limits
Arbitrary setting of speed limits
Free, off-street parking mandated in building codes
Low Housing density induced sprawl and car requirement
Exempting pickup trucks and SUVs from emissions laws
Lack of vehicle safety laws to protect pedestrians and cyclists
Aftermarket products exploit a lack of regulations
Mandatory Insurance law: payout requirements
A mortgage interest deduction drives suburban sprawl
Tax laws favor car ownership
Tax formulas favor car commuting over public transit, biking, and employer van pools
Pedestrians have limited ability to sue drivers
Pedestrians can’t sue car makers for defects
Hit and runs are rarely prosecuted
Out-of-pocket car expenses don’t cover the cost of roads
.... Is this a good start, wussboy?
