Cars are for extremely wealthy people, like $100,000+ a year income wealthy, and that's just for owning a used car
You have got to be a millionaire to buy a new car, any car, there isn't any cheap ones anymore
Cars were feasible back in the 70's and 80's, maybe slightly less so in the 90's but still possible
Cars just are not affordable or logical to own anymore for the average person, and I think this is completely intentional by the government and companies working together
