That's certainly not true. Maybe in New York or DC. But there are lots of cities in this country that lack basic public transportation. Even in Philadelphia where we have a pretty good network of routes, a astounding number of people commute out of the city via car to work.

That people are arguing only implies you are bourgeoisie, and feel the need to explain how these poor people are really effected by X and Y and Z. I have people on my team where their weekly bill for travel to work has doubled in the last two years. It hits peoples bottom line quite clearly.

I know people who don't own a car and share an apartment with others, and I also know people who struggle to keep their vehicles road-worthy. The latter usually have fewer room mates, though.
