> Some of the people featured in the article have vehicles which implies mobility
A good friend is a mechanic in the East Bay and services many people out in SF and the entire bay too. Before 2008's housing bust, about 90% of customers had 2 cars and routinely paid in checks or cash (yes really, even for a $3.5k transmission). After 2008, most people got rid of the second car, only ~15% have more than one now, and the credit card usage is about 95%. You can argue something about 2% cash back or something, but the fact is that they don't have the money to cover a brake job, let alone a new OBC.
So, no, most Bay Area families do not have mobility anymore, as they are both using the same car to drive to different workplaces. They can't move, as they don't have the money and trying to 'solve the 2-body problem' is very difficult.
Aside: buy one of these, or something like it: https://www.amazon.com/Reader-Diagnostic-Check-Engine-Light/...
Truth. Most of the time, you just get the factory reset code if you think there is something borked in the OBCs. That or just replace the computers entirely. Alldata is the HN of techs (kinda):
