Home ownership is a distant dream for most Americans, and the sort of rentals that have parking AND EV charging tend to be extremely pricy luxury new-builds.
Gas is unfortunately going to be around for a long, long time for normal working-class Americans.
I don't necessarily live in a "tech" city, far away from California.
Many people my age own their homes around me. They work in HR, they work in finance, they work in construction, they work as insurance sales.
The median home price for a lot areas around me is ~$500k. Meaning there's also a lot of homes <$500k. And I'm in one of the largest metro areas in the country with a bus stop right outside my door, so it's not like I'm in the sticks.
