Most people want fewer cars, says Dutch academic Marco te Brömmelstroet

In The Netherlands, just like everywhere else, the people who live in densely populated areas subsidize those who live in remote areas, and everybody subsidizes those who drive, both with the cost of car-centric infrastructure, and the externalized costs of destroying the planet. At least here in The Netherlands, most people have the option to live somewhere with good public transit.
Why don't you move closer to where you work?
Yes, NS is kind of expensive, but it could get more subsidies if we offered less subsidies to the drivers.
