    Quiet, peasant! This is a car-centric society! Not driving is a choice to not be a real person!

      It’s worse our cities are so sprawled out its pathetic. Everyone always says look at Europe sure but look at their cities smaller area wise but with more people.

        That’s because their zoning laws are different.

        They allow building walkable neighborhoods with mixed-use buildings that have retail businesses on the ground floor and residential units on the 3-5 floors above. Their daily errands can easily be done by foot, so there is less traffic.

        You can’t achieve that in a car-dependent suburb where you need to drive to get to the nearest grocery store, school or cafe.
