This is foolish. Cars are not cheap. The reason everyone has one is because of how necessary they are for modern life if you don't live in a "walkable city." Having to take out a loan and make 5+ years of payments isn't "cheap."

They are cheap. 100 years ago it was cheaper to have a full time cleaner than have a car. Now it's the other way round, and with cars a million times better than the ones back then.

I'm not saying they're cheap compared to free. I'm saying they're cheap compared to what you get. 100 years of competition has made cars exceptional.

full time cleaners aren't cheap either
