Used cars are still expensive. I remember looking a Toyotas and a used Corolla was about 2000$ less than new.

I'd argue that individual car ownership is generally not affordable for most people. You can easily spend over 25% of your income just on transportation.

It's almost a structural problem. America isn't built for public transportation

How used? 2010 Corolla is about $10k, while 2024 will be $20-30k.

America is plenty dense for transit, but you need to build it first and that is expensive.
