I don’t want the car reporting to insurance hard breaks and such. But frankly I just find these things creepy and I just want a base model car.

    Those options aren’t really ideal.

    What if they live in the middle of no where? And their job commute is 1 hour out? Biking would take double the time and they’d have to leave very early to make it on time.

    Not every town has public transit either. Mostly it’s the cities that do, metropolitan areas especially. But, not a lot of towns offer travel luxuries.

      Travel luxuries? Cars are the luxury. Living a hour from where you work is a “luxury”.

      Saying someone needs a car to make up for their poor lifestyle choices doesn’t mean they need a car, it means they need better choices.

        “You being born in a rural area and not able to move to a higher cost of living city with public transit is a poor life choice on your part”

        So living in a rural area is a poor lifestyle choice?

        Where do you think your food comes from?

        You anticar zealots are out of touch with reality.

        Ah right, not wanting to live in a metropolis and wanting to live in the mountains with fewer people, cleaner air, and cleaner water, and also working a trade that requires hauling tools and equipment to job sites are poor lifestyle choices, got it.
