Literally yes to all of that. Do you work in an America and work a job?
How does a sign stop them from driving to work? Also, you can choose to live closer to your work and bike or walk or take public transportation.
Regardless, this is to convince people to speak up and ask for improvements to alternatives rather than letting people act like driving is the only option. Its the only reasonable option to a lot of people in America particularly, but it isn't the only option possible, and it's also not the cheapest or most reliable. It will stay the only option if people don't realize we can have something better if we work towards it.
So, you clearly don't have a job in America. You really be saying "choose to live closer to your work" during a housing crisis and where people are stuck renting forever lol. You are incredibly out of touch with reality.
Dude, what is your issue. I gave several options and said that driving is the only reasonable option for many people currently, but they need to work for making other options available, because they are possible. I do live in America by the way and understand the realities plenty, which is why I said people need to work for better solutions. This is a fucking sign though, which isn't blocking anything, and you're arguing they need to shut the sign down because it hurts your feelings because you aren't taking another option and aren't doing anything to fix things.
