    Lol, your comment about the vehicle is stupid as fuck. There is a woman on a scooter. Your city network provides her the possibility to drive with a small vehicle with low emissions and low noise pollution, she doesn’t need to take the car. You don’t know if she owns a car or not, maybe she just prefers the scooter? Her using the scooter is a net positive for everyone. Less traffic, less noise, less emissions and she still gets to her destination quickly

      Why is it stupid?

      You are being really mean for someone saying, in general, that the next generation doesn’t seem to have it better. Why is that stupid? I don’t understand why you would think that’s a dumb sentiment to have unless you were just a mean person. Is that not a normal worry to have for children?

        It’s stupid to assume that just because someone is on an electric scooter, that person doesn’t have enough money to buy a car

          Is it possible someone like that exists? Yes. So what’s the problem with the thought process?

            The problem is judging this person based on your assumptions about them.

            It’s not such a terrible thing people are not owning cars.

              The only thing I placed any judgment on in my entire post was how out of control vehicle prices were. You inferred any other judgment all on your own. Maybe you shouldn’t jump to assumptions about someone’s intentions. This isn’t redit.

                I don’t think you realize how much your post comes across as assuming young people should aspire to own and drive cars.
