So, what kinds of cars do people with low incomes buy?

150. No, I am not ignoring rural America.

My statements about how nearly everyone in the whole country has to have a car was not ignoring small town and rural America. I was talking about cities and small towns too. You're assuming something I did not intend. I've lived in Texas my entire life. I am well aware that you have to have a car in small towns too.

I've lived in large cities, I've lived in small towns. You had to have a car to get around in the city, because the bus service was quite unreliable and joke. It was only used by poor people who had no other alternative.

If you live in New York, San Francisco, Chicago or Boston, you can live without a car. Those are all very old cities that are densely packed. They've had mass transit for a very long time. The big cities in the South were basically made inhabitable by the widespread use of air conditioning. They have somewhat old downtowns, but also have sprawl into multiple counties.
