> It feels like the plan has always been to price the working class off the roads, with no alternative beyond walking or cycling.

"Just use slow, crowded, unsafe and inefficient public transit" "Don't worry about me, I have to be chauffeured around, security reasons you know!"

"Just give away your guns. You don't need them for protection, you and your kids will be safe with the police" "Me? Oh it's different. See I need theses armed bodyguards with me. For security reasons you know!"

Europe is pretty diverse.

Many European countries have efficient public transit. Some allow firearms. One territory even has mandatory open carry.

Where might you be from?

No, many European cities have efficient public transit. Sometimes they have great inter-city rail services too.

Public transport is never likely to be effective in more rural areas, though.
