Lamenting the decline of the car

[lio45]

One tiny counterpoint - this isn't a normal recession, it's a recession caused by a virus that makes people scared of congregating in closed spaces with strangers like on the subway, train or bus. So there are two conflicting trends here and I'm not sure exactly how powerful each factor will turn out to be (though I'd probably agree with you two about the net effect still being reduced car usage, mostly due to the rise of WFH; I forecast mass transit will see reduced usage too.)
