  We’re fighting the war on car dependence.

  Cars are fine but car dependance isn’t, our cities shouldn’t be built in a way that requires a car for everyday like.

  Requiring that your citizens own a $10000 - $35000+ depreciating asset just to live life your life.

    Not entirely - assuming you work in a building, aren’t the “return to office” mandates the same? The cubicle is just your particular pod out of a massive collection of them inside a larger metal shell.

      Can’t speak for others, but I don’t participate in the stereotypical mad rush from the suburbs to the city and vise-versa every day. My commute is about 7 minutes, provided I don’t feel like deliberately taking a detour to meander through the countryside on my motorcycle after work.

      Due to the nature of my work I do have to be in the office, though, to interact with… ugh… clients.

      No cubicles, just “open concept.” Ha, checkmate! /s

  I live in Taipei. It is one of the most dense cities in the world.

  We have an amazing subway system, but I still own a car. I also own a bicycle and a stand-up electric scooter.

  I take whatever transportation is the most convenient. Sometimes it’s the bus. Sometimes, it’s the subway. Sometimes it’s by car. My point is it’s a city infrastructure, not the mode of transportation. If you vote for a government that cares about infrastructure, you will live in the city you want.

    It’s another way to say “radio waves”, so when people actually listened to the radio it was a true statement.

    Now it’s podcasts.

      Podcasts are just on demand talk radio.

  I work in hospice, traveling to patients homes. I’d be more than happy to work from home, but the logistics of getting dying bed ridden people to travel to me has been tricky.

    Imagine how smooth your travels would be, if the 70% that could work from home or use public transport would do so.

      You mean like during the COVID lockdown? It was amazing. I wish people learned more lessons from that time.

  Commuting to office (by car) daily is the real problem. Road trips by car are incredibly freeing and not miserable.

    That you get your brainwashing from an alternate source doesn’t change the fact, and your still paying a fuel tax even if it’s of a different variety.
