My original question was “How do we disincentivize the purchase of pickup trucks/SUVs” but then I thought it would be better to approach the larger problem of car dependency and car ownership. One option is, of course, to create public transit infrastructure and improve it where it already exist. This, however, doesn’t change the fact that some will still choose to drive. What would be the best ways to discourage people from owning personal cars?

        Wasn’t part of the assignment. We have pretty good data suggesting it has the potential to reduce car usage, and so eventually ownership if it were persist. Keep eating animals and we get to find out!

            Nearly every major plague and pandemic humanity has faced in the last thousand years has been the direct consequence of animal agriculture and consumption, and it’s a problem that this is confusing and surprising for you.
