That's a whole separate topic: Americans are like "just drive" and a large chunk of them just hate the poor for not having enough money to have and maintain a car.

But what about the people who actually can't drive? Epilepsy, vision, etc. There are a ton of reasons. But like what do these people do? There are so few places you can live without a car in the US compared to any other country on Earth.

If you’re too poor to own a car with a $300/mo payment you certainly aren’t going to pay $1800 for a studio in the city.

The only people who “hate the poor” more than those who suggest people drive are the ones who suggest people move into dense cities.
