Sure. Most are being sold to upper middle class people as their second car / daily driver and/or as virtue signaling. What amazes me, on a semi-related note, is that on the poor side of town how many people have something like a BMW or some other high end car they really can't afford but they're living in a total shithole apartment complex rife with drugs and crime.
Can your therapist show you how to use a search engine
I don't know the total ins and outs but car loans are considered really low risk and even after the 2008 crash they'll give a car loan to almost anybody for almost any amount I knew a repo guy in fort Lauderdale that was repoing literally 120 cars a month from people that really should not have gotten them in the first place
When you separate the paper salesmen from the actual lender you will have high defaults. Opposite motivations.
You sound like you are talking from vast experience. Poor dumb fuck.
Public transit is heavily used and efficient in many large dense pop cities.
The BART is filled, the one in DC is filled every day too. I used it all the time.
I used to work at 18th and M street and another job in Silver Spring MD Take car as far as
what is now Reagan, take the subway the rest. No traffic no stress.
I can understand not using that in AZ. Apples to oranges. Hell, that whole state
is way too fucking hot for me to even consider, thanks to global warming in large part.
110 degrees like 3/4th the damn year. That's how I define a shithole.

In the end the car goes out the front door
Not any more.
Crowding into a sealed train car or bus with a bunch of strangers hardly sounds appealing in the middle of a pandemic, particularly when everywhere you might want to go is closed.
Public transit ridership has plunged some 80 percent across major American cities, according to Moovit.
Individual transit agencies in New York City, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C., have reported declines of 90 percent or more.

Sounds almost like their businesses and populations that are leaving.....
Indeed it does, Cap'n.
DEMOCRATS who say the blue urban shitholes aren't leaking taxpayers are in denial.
California has lost so many that they are assessing California taxes on former residents for 10 years after they leave. They can't replace that revenue any other way.
The only people who aren't thinking about abandoning the sinking ships of shit are the ones who can't afford to move.
The danger is that the refugees will stupidly vote for DEMOCRATS when they reach a safe haven and ruin their new home too.
Excellent and accurate insight here Legion.
