It may be the case that I cause a lot less externalities, but I don't think that affects the definition of a public good. If I visited my friend by using a motorcycle, I'd cause less externalities too, but I don't think motorcycles are public goods. Same with scooters, e-bikes and normal bikes.

- yazaddaruvala 3y ago> but I don't think that affects the definition of a public good You happen to be misconstruing the two definitions of "public good": > a commodity or service that is provided without profit to all members of a society, either by the government or a private individual or organization. > the benefit or well-being of the public. As such, something can be a "public good" without being "a benefit".

- BasedGroyper99 3y agoI don't think I'm misconstruing these two definitions, because I didn't talk about the definitions you just brought up. I also think it is quite clear that I'm talking about what the government should or shouldn't provide, not what some specific government currently is providing.
