It’s not that they want to … as the economy grows worse for poor people, they will have to use small cars.
Who the hell can afford a big fat ugly shiny new truck right now? You can’t drive it, you can’t fuel it, you can’t insure it, you can’t park it, you can’t maintain it, you can’t store it … and it’s a liability that is expensive when it breaks and it is more likely to be vandalized or stolen.
I don’t live in a big city … but I still want a small vehicle because it’s cheaper to fuel, cheaper to operate, can be parked anywhere and they’re easy to fix if broken (and even if they do get damaged, I really don’t care what they look like as long as it still operates) … and no one would want to steal it unless they wanted the scrap metal from it.
poor people tend to drive huge old cars. they don’t buy new cars.
i live in a big city and most of my neighbors have mid-full size suvs they part on the street. it’s not an issue. and 50-70K for a new car isn’t much on a professional salary of 150-300K a year.
