    You had to wait for a car but it’s not like in the US where a car is a mandatory (and incredibly expensive) requirement to live

    In capitalist Singapore right now there is a $10,000 tax on owning a car and not many people do for this reason (on the grounds that Singapore’s infrastructure couldn’t work if it had to accomodate everyone in the city having a car)

      But they have some of the most exceptional public transportation I have ever seen and I have been all over the world. That’s a completely reasonable tax as you really don’t need a car there and is a small city state.
