      Why? Using a car you can lock up seems like a better alternative intuitively, I am pointing out that other than the emotional distress of having an object of yours stolen, owning a car is a regular rolling disaster of costs and suffering that dwarfs somebody running off with your $800 used e-bike every couple of months.

      How is this a bad take? It is literally a documented phenomena that people don’t rationally take into account how expensive owning and using a car is.
