Owning a car in Singapore, one of the world’s most expensive countries, has always been something of a luxury. But costs have now soared to an all time high.
I did a quick Google 95% of households have a car in America. That’s “almost all” but a lot of those households presumably have one car but multiple drivers, the fractions is not easy to determine. So I can’t decide if your claim is true or not.
I agree with you that the person you were responding to is not at all in touch with reality though.
Worth also mentioning that car ownership is pretty much mandatory except in a few cities in the United States because of decades of car-centric infrastructure development and neglect of public transportation. Meanwhile, the average annual cost to own and operate a car in the US is around $10,728 in 2022, which is a heavy financial burden for many when the median household income is around $70,000.
not even almost everyone in the US can afford it, no chance buddy
