Holy shit it must be so nice up on your high horse, where you're not forced to climb into a metal box powered by explosions to hurdle at lethal speeds through a flock of other death machines to avoid starving to death.

No, I am forced to do it. I lost my job and became homeless because I can't drive a car.

So how's homeless treating you? Must be going pretty well, since apparently by trying to avoid it I'm in the "any law that hurts you is good" category.

Car-hostile laws won't make you homeless, but they will make it so being too disabled to drive is less of a contributing factor to homelessness.

No it fucking won't. And it absolutely would make me homeless. I can barely afford to live as is. And it wouldn't help disabled people avoid homelessness. It would just increase homeless.

Now, walkable cities, public transport, shit like that. Those would make disability less of a factor in homelessness, and it would get people like me to stop driving.

The problem is that shit isn't profitable for the owning class. You're not going to fix an owning class problem by punishing the working class.

One who takes the lives of the poor and the nonhuman as though they were property is of the owning class. Eating meat and driving a car is bourgeois. Only one who rejects their privilege to take the lives of others through property relations is a worker.
