Dan LykeStop asking how the poor are going to get to work without cars, and start asking why the rich won't let the poor live close to their jobs.
Natalia@danlyke or why people with a job can't afford a car!
@NataliaArmyOf1 cars have huge negative external impacts. From collision deaths to tire dust pollution to the space needed to park and drive them, we as a society pay at least half a buck to subsidize every mile driven, probably over a buck, all so we can hide behind large angry grills.
We should be pursuing fiscally sustainable mobility policies that make us happier rather than angrier.
@danlyke I agree and where I live, Lisbon Portugal, we have invested so much and well that I don't have a car because I don't need one. I live in a city that gives me access for 40 euros per month to every bus, train and metro I want 🤷♀️. That's not the point I was making. People who need a car to work should be able to own one. They are not being paid enough at said work if they don't.
@NataliaArmyOf1 100% agreed. And if we stop subsidizing automobiles so heavily and lay that cost back on those benefiting from the imposition of the automobile on the public space, we all win.
