Another option: get work nearby.

Some jobs will also get pay raises if there is demand for them, but people can't afford to take them.

Working remote doesn't work just for IT, and I didn't claim everything works for everybody. And incrementally increased taxation will allow for planning.

Poor people have a low enough foot print to profit with a dividend anyways.

The real problem with carbon taxing is that it must be realized globally

I’ve lived in the USA, EU, and Asia. Very very rarely can you get a job near your housing (suburbs) - residential vs commercial areas are intentionally zoned against this. Getting housing near your work (city center) is much easier, due to mixed zoning, but obviously way more expensive.

See, the thing is, there are no carbon dividends yet. We do have lots of carbon-like taxes (in the EU and elsewhere) though. So, there’s only loss, no gain.

So you have found things to be changed (back). Same goes for shops having centralized a lot especially in the US at it seems, while local shops are much more bicycle or even foot friendly.

Generally, there is no silver bullet, but there are a lot of possible solutions as you can see. And I am sure I didn't include most of them

Well, what not is ...

I’m not ascribing to a perfection mindset. Just pointing out the ridiculousness of the elites telling others how to live their lives, while simultaneously finding ways to further suppress them.
