Do we have much smaller and less gas consuming vehicles? Yes. Do we have tons of electric vehicles? Yes. Do we have subways? Yes. There are endless options other than claiming "Living in the world as it is" and being a hypocrite. There are very large and tiny vehicles that can accomplish what she demands of others.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez defends using cars instead of subway after 'hypocrisy' claims: 'Living in the world as it is'
When the New York Post called Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez a hypocrite for riding in cars over the weekend, the freshman congresswoman made it clear that she found the paper’s logic hilariously flawed. “No one can rival this kind of hard-hitting journalism,” she tweeted on Sunday.
The Post’s front page headline read, “Gas-guzzling car rides expose AOC’s hypocrisy amid Green New Deal pledge.”
The Ocasio-Cortez campaign’s federal filings included more than 1,000 rides with Uber, Lyft, Juno and other car services totaling $29,366, according to the Post. Ocasio-Cortez spokesman Corbin Trent told the Post that “everyone — top to bottom” on the campaign used the New York City subway.
The progressive Democrat’s Green New Deal proposal called for a total overhaul of the nation’s transportation system in order to dramatically cut back on emissions that harm the environment. Her office’s fact sheet on the plan, released last month, says that efforts to combat climate change should include “massively expanding electric vehicle manufacturing, build charging stations everywhere, build out high-speed rail at a scale where air travel stops becoming necessary [and] create affordable public transit available to all, with the goal to replace every combustion-engine vehicle.”
But Ocasio-Cortez explained in a series of tweets that “living in the world as it is” doesn’t mean she isn’t working toward climate change solutions.
