    Just a note that a lot of these would be very negatively impactful on many lower income level people who depend on what transportation they can manage. If there was a fast move to replace the needs with public infrastructure like rail and bus, then maybe the financial hit would be less for them. “Get a job within walking or bike” doesn’t always work out.

      This problem is less significant if the transit is free. Even if the transit isn’t free if transit is roughly the same speed as taking a car it would be far cheaper than car ownership.
