People who give this message like everyone is just choosing to screw the environment for fun make a crapton of assumptions about the forces people face in finding a place to live.
The fun part is that many societies have had and currently have dirt cheap urban rents, accurately reflecting the efficiency and lower cost of supplying services to people in urban areas. This isn't even a capitalism/socialism thing, since plenty of capitalist societies have figured out how to make it work via subsidies, public housing, price controls, etc.
I was just talking about urban rents. The fact of the matter is that climate change will not be addressed without significantly reducing the number of cars on the road, EVs or no, and you can't do that without overhauling urban sprawl.
Fuck urban rents, how about that?

The plan to address that is via crapping on EVs?
OK. Go for yourself.

Boy I wonder where we might be able to find lots and lots of space within a city for new construction to densify it.
