There are also those that live in developed world selected groups. I live in Beijing and would love a car, but a parking spot goes for a few hundred thousand dollars, the car itself would be $50-60k, and I would still need to get lucky in the license plate lottery. Well, at least taxis are cheap and ubiquitous.
