And I thought Americans were carbrained, holy shit.
(To be fair, he’s not wrong in that this is intended to keep the auto companies and the government nice and fat – but the obvious response to this is to agitate for better public transit, not railing against an environmentally sound policy.)
So of we annoy the wealthy class, they will use their considerable influence and have walkways built thus benefitting everyone?
Sounds good to me
Absolutely. It’s just that the guy driving a 15 year old Hyundai isn’t exactly the “wealthy class”. Laws like this affect mostly people who can barely afford cars, not people who can easily afford them. Actually I think the wealthy would be more annoyed if there were MORE people driving so more traffic jams, but that’s not a solution either.
In India, owning a car is a sign of wealth.
