I base this all on my SIL and her friends who are all silver spoon downtown kids who hate cars, except when they rent em cause they tired, they go on about the environment, except when they have to travel across the world twice a year and rent diesel cars to travel the third world and pretend that people’s poverty is an adventure. The kind of people who go on about bike lanes but want nothing to do with road education and safety of pedestrians. The ones who say you need to grab your disabled ass and put all your kids on a bike and haul them to the dr in -20 snow weather. Btw what transit? It sucks unless of course you’re a downtown silver spoon baby who thinks transit and accessibility is city level everywhere, even in rural areas
