This issue really shouldn't be politicized, I mean there isn't even anything inherently political about it. It's all just marketing.

It's been "politicized" pretty much since affordable cars were a thing.

I'd argue that poltics even played a role in letting the original rich car owners claim the street as theirs which paved the way to make cars common and affordable.

Everything is political.
