[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Well, that's a relief as I thought new residents might bring cars. We will hang on to ours so we can drive out to the countryside occasionally and see trees and stuff.[/quote]

I bought an electric car. I like the tech and just thought that I would do my tiny bit as I could. Remove one gas car and replace it with an electric car. Not trying to be preachy. I really don't care what you drive. Anyway, I had the car for six weeks before it got a sticker plastered on its windshield (beginning of pandemic) that said "Roads were not built for cars". Serves me right for not having parked it in the garage that day (another subject of debate in this thread I am sure). Anyway, I had always known it, but the densification lobby and bike lobby and in general 'make you feel guilty' lobby are all the same lobby and it is all about transferring your money into their wallets.

The "ask" is not going to end once you have upzoned your house, sold your cars and bought a bike. They will want to charge you a hookup tax to plug your solar onto the grid once you update your new Multi Family Housing Unit. You want to make it LEED certified. That does not mean it is efficient. That means you have paid an arbitrary certification board that shows up to examine your house in, you guessed it, a Toyota Tacoma.[/quote]

Electric cars while being marginally better than gas cars are far more about virtue signalling than actual virtue.

If you care about the virtue part there are a lot of things more meaningful (and cheaper) than buying an electric car.[/quote]
