And then of course, the conversation turns to poor people using cheap cars to get there. And for once this is a "relatively" good deal for the poor, because the savings on car price more than make up for the difference in fuel costs for quite a distance (given that you can easily get a car $20k cheaper than a new efficient car.

"We" can't park anymore (because unlike poor people we don't arrive at work at 6am). "We" must stimulate public transport usage (without, of course, using it ourselves). Not that public transport even passes through the places where you'd live if you didn't have money, but who cares about that ? The cycle continues.
