There is no absolute need for a car in China, it a convenience not a necessity, like somewhere in Phoenix or Tampa. So even if China twice GDP per capita compared to US there is still would be less ownership.
- osigurdson 3y agoYou may have to define "need". It is likely possible in nearly every jurisdiction to live without a car - particularly large cities like Phoenix or Tampa. Still I wonder why "living without a car" is really that important of a goal. Making life as awesome as possible should be what we are really shooting for. Being a 5 minute walk from everything important would be great. I don't know about a 15 minute bike ride though - that is really quite far and most people would probably rather drive I think (especially if in a hurry).
- SomeRndName11 3y agoIt is pure demagoguery. Live without a car in Phoenix would be nightmare, compared to life without a car in Wuhan.
