Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca also apply here. See the sidebar on the homepage:
A lot of people do love in dense areas in cities though. That's what makes them dense.
And programs like the carbon pricing makes those places more attractive to build denser housing.
EVs don't even need to be the only alternative, if the carbon pricing is encouraging someone to buy a more fuel efficient ICE vehicle, the incentive is still working.
I still have such a hard time understanding how people are calling the carbon pricing setup a stick, most of us are getting more money back from the program. Yes overall oil prices worldwide have gone up since the program started, but international oil prices aren't impacted by Canadian carbon pricing policy...
Not everything is black and white. I can agree with the idea of a carbon tax while also acknowledging how it can feel less fair to different people in different areas.
