2) You are against the freedom of choice in how to get around, but rather be reliant on a way of life dictated to you by the automotive industry.
3) You want to be isolated away from high paying jobs.
4) You want fewer jobs to exist in your county, as they continue to relocate to areas in the metro with easy transit access.
5) If you think the ~$8,000 annual cost of vehicle ownership is somehow less expensive than the few hundred dollars spent on a transit pass and sales tax. A single month of auto expenses (auto loan or lease ~$200-600/mo. + insurance + gas $, hell don’t even consider wear and tear, replacing parts, and depreciation of the car) can be more expensive than what is spent on transit, annually. The difference is tens of thousands in compounded interest over just ten years if you choose transit over vehicle ownership and have the capacity to invest.
Vote yes to expand transit in Gwinnett County.
