I'd prefer public transport and trains over small cars, but I'd prefer small cars over giant cars.
Good luck finding usable publich transport in 99% of the US.
Blame zoning that makes building anything but single family houses illegal. With such sparse density you can't have public transit that is affordable and frequent. It is time to transform those money-sucking suburbs into walkable mixed-use medium density neighborhoods.
The trick is state level zoning reform. NIMBY's death grip doesn't work above the local level
I love my tiny car. Gets awesome mileage, the AC works, and I can Bluetooth my phone to the sound system. I spend about 30 bucks every week and a half to fill it up. I’m thrilled to own it.
