Those people institutionally and intestinally hate automobiles ..... and, I gradually figured out, they hate the freedom and mobility that cars afford people, to escape the little cages the Bauhouse boys would have us living in, like the 500-to-700-square-foot rat cages LeCorbusier was designing for French peasants back in the 20's. How good of them to think of us.....
Leftism is motivated by envy, and surprisingly most of it is nothing more than size envy. An automobile is the second largest possession most Americans own, the largest being a free standing house. They hate that even more. Big trains and skyscrapers are their phallic symbol responses.
