I think the automobile is probably the most overrated machine ever built. Transportation always makes the most sense as something truly owned by the public. I like trains, I like cabs, I like bikes, I enjoy walking in environments planned well for pedestrians (the antithesis to new construction's hostility to bipedal propulsion). The lack of well-planned mass transit is just another tax passed onto the backs of the lower and middle class. Mandatory car insurance, car payments, vehicle maintenance, fuel. It's a sizable chunk of disposable income. Given adequate alternatives, I could do without a car quite gladly
