    We could also work towards doing without them entirely.

    All other thoughts aside, it honestly baffles me that people look at the cost of a vehicle and decide that it’s a smart financial decision in today’s economy, especially with these gas prices.

      Would be nice, but that’s a pipe dream for when Greens fight NDP for power and still probably end working together, so not this timeline.

      I walk wherever I can, hell if I’m bored enough I’ll walk for 2-3 hours to a shop and take a bus back, but the current state of transport and footpaths seriously limits my options and safety. That being said, there are times where I just wanna drive, enjoy music without something uncomfortable stuck in my ear or pressing on my ears, and go wherever I want. And I sure as fuck don’t think spending anything over 20k is worth that freedom unless I expect it to last 20 years minimum.
