I don't know, most of the homeless in my area have cars and semi live in them. You can't walk or bike here, there's no public transportation, and the winters are brutal. You can't live without a car or someone willing to drive you. When people are struggling to pay their bills, they'll lose their house before they lose their car.

I think you may have misinterpreted what I said.

I was correcting the title:

In Singapore, owning even a junk car ~~is now~~ has always been considered a luxury

Yeah I didn't apply it to the title, it seemed like a broader statement. Thanks for the clarification.
