yesterday we were talking how poor people are disproportionately affected if having cars became more expensive.

today I read this article in washington post: "poor people pay for parking even if they can't afford a car" https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2016/06/15/why-free-parking-is-a-big-problem/?utm_term=.251ce46e2872

so if cars and having cars stays as cheap as it is, poor people are already disproportionately affected.

"They force people who don't drive to subsidize those who do. They assume everyone does drive when many people can't. And they make it more expensive to build affordable housing, which means we get less of it."
