You should tell that to all the people that come running for openings I've had at my restaurant, to make just above minimum wage. The ones that just took a 2 hour public transit ride one way, the ones that drove for 45 minutes or more, or the ones that just straight up walked because they couldn't afford to pay for the bus and maybe the job will help pay for the bus in the future.
Cars break down, cars are often needed for jobs and for interviews for jobs, and two adults looking for whatever they can get are going to want to keep two cars as a _necessity_ in a lot of places.
I absolutely understand how a family on food stamps could justify having two cars, especially when one is already paid off. They had jobs during this time, even (not that that changes anything):
