Roody speculating that financial institutions might try to market loans specifically to car-free people, given that they may have the discretionary income to pay them back, since they don't pay car costs.
I'll predict some modification - that maybe they will market a special credit card or special mortgages for non-car-owners. After all, if they can't enslave us into financial serfdom with car loans, they need to find another way :
I am not aware of any credit card company that requires the card holder to own a motor vehicle; are you?
Why would anyone need or offer a "special" credit card for non-car owners? And special mortgages for non car owners? What will make the mortgages "special"? Mortgages on what that is not already available to every non car owner?
Are you thinking of an affinity credit card that gets a pretty logo on the piece of plastic with no other benefit?
