Good. We need to disincentivize driving as much as possible.

How are people supposed to get to work from rural areas? What about trucks delivering commerce? What about your Amazon packages? What about people with work trucks full of tools that can't take a bus?

That’s where dense housing instead of sprawl will help.

We need alternate reliable public transit in place so people can get around easier. There are so many people that aren’t able to use public transit bc of where they live and then you have other people that have to use private vehicles for work bc they have to have their equipment available as they work. I don’t have an answer for making people less reliant on cars but taxing the working class more bc they have to drive doesn’t sound great.

What is unfair to the working class people: They are forced to live far away from the city because there is no affordable housing available in the city. And that forces them to use cars for commute. We need to change it and incentivize the development and expansion of the reliable public transit.

Yes. That is definitely part of the problem.
