Indeed, _even if you could_ ... which for most people in the US, you can't. Ignoring the fact that transit in the US, with a few remarkable exceptions, doesn't work very well, isn't funded very well and isn't seen as a priority by the government makes your criticism of individuals who buy cars a little one-sided.

Hey, did anyone catch that bit about somewhere considering allowing the "taxed like a truck" SUVs only on "Truck Route" designated streets? :-)
