Imagine if I proposed taxing people approximately $5000 extra a year and then insisting that in addition they took on an extra job of being a chauffeur every morning and evening? And in addition I sequestered land and the sides of roads in order to store the vehicles which you needed to maintain, license, insure?

And in addition I would propose that approximately forty thousand people a year would be killed directly in vehicle collisions and that your children would be put in danger by you and your neighbors.

It is possible that you are talking about one of the very rare (and ever decreasing) rural areas which simply does not have enough population density to make public transport viable. But, we will worry about that after the dense suburbs, exurbs and downtowns have a modern transport system.

> mobility is a right

Spot on - and societies obsessed with cars effectively deny that right to people who cannot drive or cannot afford a car.
