I took this awhile ago and thought maybe someone would be amused by it. I miss that car.

      Yeah, is almost like shaming people for driving smaller vehicles is dumb. Turns out there are a lot of different needs.

      TBH I don’t think we have to read these posts as shaming the driver of these cars, necessarily. We could read them as indictments of all the choices we’ve made as a society that result in poor transit options & large vehicles.

      Choices like:

      • under investment in public transit and rail
      • Regulations that encourage/subsidize SUVs
      • low density housing policies
      • And, if we’re being really honest, the racism that drives so much of American public policy

      All of these are worthy of critique and fair targets

      The larger the car, the greater the externalitites (including DEATH OF INNOCENT PEOPLE), the greater the shame.
