Ika MakimakiThe average annual cost of owning a car is $8000.
Depending on the model it can range from $5000 to $12000 though.
If local governments really wanted to "ease the pressure of living costs" on their populations, they'd fund #PublicTransport, #cycling and #walking, allowing people the freedom to NOT own a car and automatically putting 8 thousand dollars in the pocket of every ex motorist.
#carDependency is financial ruin for cities.
