I agree that people buy way more car than they need. However, should poor people and teenagers have to own cars, considering they wouldn't be expected to anywhere else in the world? It's a big expense and part of the underlying problem.
- _yb2s 3y agoUm... most poor people and teenagers still have jobs they need to get to. Usually the kind that are much less forgiving of missing work than higher paying jobs.

- vehemenz 3y agoWhy is car-only infrastructure required? In my comment I point out structural problems with American infrastructure, but your comment seems to ignore that.
- _yb2s 3y agoMy apologies, I misread your comment to say poor people and teenagers were not expected to travel anywhere! Better non car infrastructure would be nice in the USA… I think the two main reasons it isn’t really happening are relatively low population density, and an unfortunate cultural aversion that sees public transit as “low class.” Most dense/big cities in the USA do have fairly decent public transit and are livable car free.
