The parent you replied to was talking about NJ and people in NJ who own cars being accommodated by NY. Your comment was about how people choosing to drive in don’t consider the cost of buying a car. I’m saying no one buys a car to drive in. They already have one because having a car is awesome if you live in NJ.

90% is just about everyone. There are poor people that can’t afford cars and also NJ has cities like Hoboken and Jersey City that are more like being in NYC.

10% is an absolutely huge number when we are talking about making public policy, you can’t just round that up.

What else do 90% of people agree upon? We should put 90% of transit funds to car things but we don’t. That 10% is basically over served when you look at it this way.

But yeah policy should be built around what 90% of people think. In this case it’s that people want cars. And it makes sense because they make life so much better.

I have a car but that doesn’t mean I want things built around cars. I have a car because I need it not because I want it. Having to have a car makes my life actively worse.

You’re making a significant leap by assuming that car ownership implies car support.
