Grove Street is for life homie, are you down?

Moral judgements about individual choices and behavior are not necessary here. The fact is that the behavior of problem drivers, however it came to occur, threatens public safety and must be discouraged if we want to protect the lives of innocent people. I will readily admit that it is a moral judgement that public safety is more important that the convenience of a relative few, you've got me there.

I suppose it's not ideal that discouraging dangerous driving has to take the form of punishment but I'm not sure how else this important goal could be accomplished. Is there anywhere in the world that has successfully addressed this problem using other methods? For better or for worse people respond to these incentives, and in the absence of better alternatives we have to accept this reality if we want government to be effective.

It's not ideal that wealthier people are discouraged less by monetary fines, but the province of Ontario does also impose non-monetary demerit points that will eventually lead to license suspension regardless of the ability to pay.

I don't expect you to take my word or anyone else's for this, feel free to look up a TTC system map and review some of the schedules if you want to have a better idea of just how much coverage the TTC provides in Toronto, all with prices much lower than the total cost of ownership of a private vehicle.

I'm not suggesting that the moral character of the individual is in any way relevant here, and I'm glad driver's licenses are not issued or revoked on that basis. This is instead a straightforward question of public safety - anyone who consistently demonstrates that they are unable or unwilling to safely operate a motor vehicle on public roads according to the clearly posted and non-negotiable law should not permitted to risk the lives of others, and will be subject to escalating sanctions in order to accomplish that. There is definitely room for improvement in the system but it is fundamentally reasonable and sound. Yes, essentially anyone who lives in Toronto can get by without a car. Even if someone is severely physically disabled and confined to a wheelchair they can still use not only the fully accessible bus and subway system but also a separate disabled-specific transit system that provides door-to-door service using the same fee scale as the broader system. Toronto may not be a perfect utopia but it has gotten pretty close to solving this particular problem.

I lived in Toronto for 15 years and I never owned a car, no you very much do not need one to get to your job, go shopping, and participate in society, especially not at Dufferin south of frickin' Bloor. People who get caught speeding so often that they can't afford to keep driving can... just stop driving and take transit, which is what most people there do. The idea that they literally have no other choice and will be forced into prison is just absurd.

These guys are insane

But you had both better make damn sure no money changes hands in the process

Yeah I don't really understand that part either, but it has happened

They're highly motivated. Because they believe in a wrathful god they know whatever is waiting for them on the other side is going to be unpleasant

If deflation was persistent, couldn't debt have a very low or even negative interest rate?

Nooooo
