From my perspective, you have to be rich to drive. The so-called poverty line is now what I and everyone I know aspires to one day reach, but secretly know we won’t. If you’re not wealthy and you’re driving, you have made a choice that demands compromise from every other aspect of your like. Though, likewise with not driving… But you can’t be not wealthy AND drive AND be a single parent of three, for example. And since you can’t sell the kids, you WILL figure out how to live without a car.
Where I live 90% of the homeless have cars, or are at least in a relationship with someone who has one. Many of them sleep in them. Because here you can live without a house but you can’t live without a car. Walking or biking the roads is deadly. Like you WILL die. Poor people have cars.
