Rather hyperbolic. No one needs to pay $1000/mo for a basic reliable car, not even including gas and insurance.

Regardless of the price, it limits access to many necessities only to people able to drive. All children are unable to drive, and anyone who doesn't die young will end their life disabled and unable to drive for the last several-to-many years of it. There's no reason to limit and isolate people this way. It's certainly not "freedom."
