Imagine being forced to spend 20% of your income on a depreciating asset and then calling it "freedom". (pbs.twimg.com)

If you don’t like driving, then don’t. Take a bus, a train, or bike

That's exactly the problem: I can't, my city has shitty bus routes with 1 hour frequency, trains are non existent, bike infrastructure only on dreams. That's the freedom we want, but with car centric infrastructure, we don't have the freedom to choose how to move and function on this society

I'm lucky to live walking distance to work. 99.995% of my city doesn't have that option and must rely on a car. My city spends almost nothing in public transit but spends a lot on roads and other car subsidies.
