Poor people in the country back then we’re very bad off. The mobility from cars enabled real improvements for them.


I'm not claiming it didn't.

Poor people historically were worse off in myriad ways. Wanting options for people is trying to throw out the bathwater, not the baby.

I'm not looking to take cars away from anyone. I'm just looking to restore access to some essentials that I grew up with and that I know can be real, even with cars remaining popular and common.

I'm not some extremist looking to eliminate cars. I'm not trying to insist that anyone who can drive and prefers to drive be denied that possibility.
