Californians: free car down payment

Why California wants to give residents $1,000 not to have a car

While Americans love their cars, California has adopted a radical strategy aimed at changing their minds, passing a first-of-its-kind bill Wednesday to reward low-income residents who live car-free.

Amid a bonanza of measures passed to cut the state’s carbon emissions as fast as possible, the California legislature approved a $1,000 refundable tax credit to poorer Californians who don’t own vehicles. It will head to the desk of Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), who is expected to sign it.

$1k is way too much. Glad it will help offset a $1 million+ mortgage

Just how will this be enforced?

Oh, I don't have a car, that's my wife's.

The way to get a free Z is to get a student loan, buy the car, & then get this brilliant administration to forgive my debt.
