New cars don't cost $40k in the real world.
Also, there is close to no second hand cargo bike volume so it is absolutely a fair comparison.
If I want to buy a vehicle I don't care if second hand cargo bikes are available or not. I know that second hand cars so exist though.
You're making the assumption that the cargo bike seats only one person, when a parent could easily seat two children on a cargo bike.
You're making the assumption that everyone would be using the cargo bike as their primary day-to-day transportation, when the cargo bike is mostly useful for either transporting young children, or when transporting cargo. At other times a more reasonable choice would be to use a regular bicycle.
You're making the assumption that cargo bikes take up as much space as cars which is just downright false.
