    Yeah not in rural areas, we need cars.

    Now, im all for banning bro trucks and crossovers over 3500 lbs. If you cant get by with a miata or a wagon, you have to get a special license for a bigger vehicle and pay more because youre damaging the road and endangering others 10x more in your 10,000lb f350 diesel.

      Housing in rural areas is usually dirt cheap.

      So you can probably afford a car and a rural apartment for the cost of a transit pass and apartment in a well-connected town

        Totally. And for me thats better, I like having a house and garage with space. I dont mind not being in a busy city center because I feel caged in, and all there is to do in those places us go to bars all the time, something ive never been into.

        I go downtown to the arcade sometimes or out to the fitness center/rock wall by my place and thats plenty for me. Sometimes go to the local theater plays and movies. All a 10 minute drive

      Rural areas, sure. Suburban and urban where the majority of humans live, no.

        yeah, reminder that even the USA has an 80% urban population! (below is per-state percentages)

        Half the US population lives in these counties:

        And
        Two out of three people live in the 100-mile border zone
