>>1929709>Their interests, as drivers, are not completely aligned with those of the inner city.That's dumb. First, legislators will never align with the pleb class anyway, so the "they drive, they don't understand" argument is moot.
Plus, as far as commuting goes, we all saw how NYC fared when the suburbanites quit coming into the city, and the rich fled for the outlying areas (Hamptons).
The "car-free" numbers in New York are decreasing, and only Manhattan, Bronx, and Brooklyn are majority car-free, and the overall numbers of the city are just about 4.0% away from 50.1% of New Yorkers having a car, so by your own logic, New York is dangerously close to flipping to having pro-driving politicians that ARE "aligned with the inner city".
