Throughout history cities have always been a place where people lived in poverty crowded into slums. They had to in order to live, the poor didn’t have the resources to live in rural areas alone. The rich had country estates so they could escape from the noise, crime, and filth of the cities. The automobile changed that, now the middle class could get away from cities into a healthier environment offering a better life for their families. Leftists don’t like that, the middle class abandoning the cities means taking their money with them, money that leftist governments want in their pockets. That’s what’s behind the push to get rid of cars and force people into relying upon public transportation. Force the middle class back into cities where they can be controlled better along with their money.

Yes, they would love to turn American cities into Victorian Slums where the peasants live in filth, poverty, destitution and murder while they live in the Shires in their swanky manor houses.
