IMHO I believe that the ultra-left democrats and "liberals" in power really don't think average Americans ("common people" to them) should have personal cars, electric or fossil fuel.
Ultimately they want to move us out of rural areas, villages and towns and herd us all into their city ghettos where we will live in rathole apartments.
When people are concentrated in cities they are less able to be self reliant, easier to control and have to rely on public transportation for the most part.
That concept of depopulating the countryside is basically in line with UN Agenda 51 that sees people as a blight on Gaia.
You are correct, that is their plan.
I agree. They have been trying for decades to force people in LA & SoCal to live in downtown apartments & take mass transit. To a degree the downtown living did see a boom, but the mass transit has never caught on & ridership has never met its goal.
People living in high-rise apartments would still need to charge their vehicles & right now none of the parking spaces are equipped to do so.
One thing the pandemic has done, is prove you don’t need a lot of office space & can work remotely from anywhere. I have a lot of clients who don’t want to & don’t plan on going back to their office. Many have moved out of the state or at least out of the city to suburbs.

They have been trying for years to tear down our dams that have made it possible for us to live where I do. All in the name to save the Salmon.
