    I’ve been anti-car my entire life. But as time has gone on I’ve started to see the reasoning behind the pro-car people. Having a space to yourself is nice. I’ve been thinking about what it would take to make cars less bad for society.

    Those factors are:

    1. Resolving the traffic issue and the impact the traffic issue has on housing supply.
    2. The microplastics from tires.
    3. The cost of vehicles.

    Obviously this would resolve the cost issue. A $9,000 EV is around the level of a very expensive e-bike. The battery being half the size of the BYD Atto 1 Essential (an already smaller than average) is probably a step in the right direction for microplastics too.

    I’m hopeful for the future.
