Reply to comment by JejuneRacoon in Because so many locations require cars to get around, motor vehicles are a tax that disproportionately penalize poorer people. by wfezzari

I take it every day, and while it’s not cheap it’s effective… nothing is cheap The cost of living obviously makes up a larger % of income when income is lower That isn’t rocket science

It’s the cheaper option (at least, around where I am) when you factor in things for a car like maintenance, gas, and insurance. I think on average I spend about $200 a month on my car (that I own) whereas public transportation is like $60 for an unlimited monthly pass. Having a car is a huge convenience, though.
