Yeah its a fucken awful experience all around. Cars are different outside of cities and especially in rurual areas. But its a recipe for disaster in cities.
The key point to remember is that 80% of the US population is urban. The other 20% are totally justified in having a car-centric lifestyle, but they're also a relatively negligible percentage and thus not part of the problem to begin with.
It's all the folks in the suburbs who like to pretend they're rural when they're not who are the bulk of the problem.
I'd love it if the burbs didnt exist. They are pointless. I say from the burbs.
