I live in Chicago. I have a car because I can afford that particular luxury. I also didn’t get a drivers license until I was in my 20s and most of my friends continue to not own vehicles. If we, as a society, stopped working backwards from figuring out how to get everybody into a car and instead put that effort into fixing our broken transportation infrastructure that makes assumptions about everybody having 5 figures to own a car, we would all be better off. Were subsidizing Rolexes instead of giving people Casio watches and letting the people who can afford it buy Rolexes.
