Efficiency is cheap.
You're right. I happen to be a bicycle commuter. In fact I don't
even own an internal combustion powered vehicle. I've been car
free for twenty years, and I don't miss it.
It takes me ten minutes to get to work. No parking hassles or
expenses, I park my bike in my office. Yes there's an art to
doing this, but practice makes perfect.
Of course it costs more to live in the city center but this is offset
by low transportation costs. It IS possible to game the system
in an ecologically and personally beneficial way.
My lifestyle wouldn't (maybe) work for everyone, but I'll bet
it would for some. I'm an American conservative with a
European socialist lifestyle. Too bad I don't get a big bailout
check for acting responsibly.
I pay my bills and taxes, I'm kind to strangers, and I always
try to give more than I take. I'm sure that there are many
others that do the same.
And I don't ask for much. Personally I'd settle for a nice
pair of English dress shoes and a new preamplifier, as long
as the Democrats are hell-bent on giving away my money.
I figure that would about cover it.
