Reply to comment by Old_Distribution9636 in Car owners are always made to be a villain. by [deleted]

Only about a third of DC residents drive on a daily basis, so to argue that you need a car is rather silly. It's not car dependent, you just want to drive one and damn the consequences.

Fam I work in multiple hospitals throughout the week and sometimes in the same day. I leave my house at 3:30-4AM everyday. Some of us actually do need to have cars

And you deserve better 24/7 transit to be able to do so. There are always edge cases that require cars, but even those can be reduced substantially. You wouldn't likely need to drive everywhere if you lived in NYC where the subway runs 24/7.

Yes but people will read your comment and echo that sentiment everywhere like it’s any more reasonable than saying everyone needs cars
