I mean, I honestly don’t understand why anyone made an entire community with the focus of hating cars. I made one comment about why trains cannot replace cars and oh man the response I get from angry car haters is just so… bewildering.

Edit: I don’t mean to offend anyone. I respect your right to hold those beliefs.

    Cars also make an economic barrier, poor people who can’t afford a car can’t get a job far away, limiting their choices and opportunities.

    Even if they find a good job, companies prefer people with a car, so it’s very likeky that they’re rejected.

      Also, the expense of a car can decimate their income. I don’t know how some people made ends meet when gas prices spiked during the pandemic.
