I make enough money, so I don't care about the cost. It is budgeted in. It is a necessity.

- airza 3y agoThe problem is that it's not budgeted in : most municipal governments are crumping under the weight of supporting all of the infrastructure needed to support everyone living far apart and going places via car
- 0xfaded 3y agoIronically it isn't budgeted in, almost all road infrastructure is underfunded and falling apart. Not to mention the externalized cost to the environment. The worst part is that poor people pay more land tax per area than rich people, so you are likely being subsidized by people who don't make enough money. I live in America and make enough money to spend part of my year in various cities across Europe. It saddens me to think that the average American can't imagine how good life can be with fewer cars.
- DonHopkins 3y agoYou also don't care about the costs to other people, the poor, society, and the environment. Too bad there are so many careless people like you.
- unixhero 3y agoI live in a country where the population density is low, settlement is sparse and the winters are gnarly. Distances are huge and not owning a car is for me out of the question. I have been to Singapore. It is a sort of utopia when it comes to mass transit and public transport in general. I suggest people move there if they want to live in a world technically devoid of cars. A future without indivual personal transport is one I do not personally, want, will vote for or can support. This goes to the core of individual freedom. Yes people from outside the US also care deeply about individual rights.
