I don’t think big cars are especially bad. Imho the issue is at-will vehicle license. We should give them to people who need it for work or really can’t do otherwise.
EDIT: before you downvote, please consider if you have conflict of interest in this. If you are a polluter yourself, you are not rational.
Nothing’s as badfaithed as a vroomer.
This would straight up not work for the vast majority of the US. Public transit in most areas of the country is an absolute joke. That sort of policy would basically be tantamount to revoking poor people’s ability to travel any meaningful distance.
Then it needs to come with the right to public transport. And as access to transit becomes available access to cars requires a business need.
Ok, so first of all, the fact that I am getting downvoted shows the extend of car-related propaganda, even in “leftists” and “ecologically conscious” space. It’s sad, really, I thought I would belong here. Apparently not :(
Seconds, as I said above, they won’t put trainlines on a route where everybody’s taking their cars already.
I don’t care that much about americans. They are a lost cause with 100x the footprint of a normal person. Most countries have trains. I’m speaking about normal countries, not settler-colonialists ones who covered the land they emptied with low-density labyrinth like suburbs.
