Even if that wasn't complete nonsense, it would be a good thing. The world needs to stop making and driving ICE vehicles. High prices are a great deterrent.

this take kinda ignores the large number of people and places that do not have that option. it's not up to consumers to stop driving. infrastructure has to come first in more than just major cities.

This is true, but I also think a rise in auto prices will present a problem that more infrastructure can fix? Like, it's a pressure that public transit can release. You'd probably want a gradual change if that was the angle, though. Hm.

If people aren't forced, those locations would never get public transport.

And the people living on the country side aren't exactly too poor to buy a more expensive car.

I was about to rant about how important it is for things to change and people being inconvenienced doesn't matter. But let's be real. It's already too late.
