I don't have a car, I live in Silicon Valley working for a tech company, and I'm more than willing to pay for weekly meal ingredient boxes (which I do).

You're assuming that everyone who doesn't have a car is poor, which isn't necessarily true.

They guy did say in general. In general, most people aren't SV working for a tech company.

Plenty of people live in city centers and don't have a car because of the aggravation, not because they couldn't afford one.

Few people who live in NYC have cars, and many of those people are very well-off.
