    Not in the US we don’t. A car is a necessity for the vast majority of Americans because of how our cities and towns are built. The car lobby makes sure that doesn’t change because they can take advantage of that fact to put people in massive amounts of debt.

        Nor does it end with the UK, which is the perspective I assume you were speaking from when you said owning a car is a privilege and that people should just walk.

          Nowhere but in the US people rely on cars. Cars are just too fucking expensive for the majority of human population.

            Cool? But the original screenshot was about the US perspective, so the point needn’t be made here
