    France generally has good enough public transit in most areas that you can live without a car if you’re poor. In America you’re lucky if you have anything more than the most thread there public transit system where the bus is only come every 45 minutes and get stuck in traffic. Except in New York and Chicago even the poorest person must own a at least a $1,000 very old used car to get to work. Americans are so dependent on cars as a consequence of bad urban planning that for many the idea of Transportation by a means other than car is literally inconceivable, it’s like trying to explain quantum physics to a dog
