This is capitalism. First they monopolize our infrastructure to force us into dependency, then jack up the cost of their created need, driving out and demonizing all alternatives. Not naturally but through power, influence, and countless billions in lobbies.
If car ownership feels impossible, now consider that getting around the city by any means feels impossible. If you're in a car you're stuck in traffic, if you're on a bus you're stuck in traffic, if you're on a bike you're stuck in traffic, and if you're on foot you're not allowed to walk anywhere.
Somehow people have been convinced that the only way to get around all this car traffic is to induce more car traffic, and further demonize other means of transportation and their users. This complete disassociation from reason and logic doesn't come naturally, it was paid for by the auto industry.

A bicyclist was hit today, on Eglinton and Oakwood.
The city has still not installed the promised and planned bike lanes.
The new LRT has opened. This was meters from the subway station. The city has spent billions on the LRT, and 16 years of construction. Yet the neighbour has been abandoned by the city to car traffic. Prioritizing people traveling from downtown, to the 401 highway, using the Allen Rd.

Here's a great video from Tom Babin ( @shifter ) and Dave Shellnut (The Biking Lawyer) on e-bikes. Plenty to think about!
