If they give money to transit riders drivers won't get that extra lane that will finally solve traffic!

So once again, it's that mindset that votes for purely personal reward rather than the health of the group?

If humanity was a single body, it seems like that would be like one of the toes voting against having a critical organ.

If only traffic congestion could be solved by having fewer people rely on driving... oh well.

Being forced to have nothing but air between them and brown people.

Whatever happened to the Statue of Liberty's eternal welcome to immigrants of all kinds, and the very real fact that the USA was indeed built by such folks?

Time to tear down the Statue, amirite..?

Unfortunately, that was mostly propaganda used to entice the vulnerable into a system designed by the owning-class in order to exploit them for their labor and treat them as second class citizens.

The US was built by such folk in the same way that black folk worked plantations down South. Sadly, just because people did the labor doesn't mean they have any rights to the product of that labor unless allowed by the whims of owners.

mostly having to be in the vicinity of brown people, and people of darker or not ghostly skin.

I imagine there's some confounding variable that is highly correlated to car ownership.

Maybe zip code.

Zip code, income, race, age, social consciousness, climate consciousness....so many variables that are highly correlated to car ownership

Well, income is controlled for, so it's not that.

I doubt any kind of consciousness has that degree of correlation. People that live in a situation that demands a car get a car, people with good alternatives get way fewer cars, mostly independently on how they thing. (My guess is that consciousness correlates much better to car model than to the car/no car choice.)
