    That, and being dependent on your automobile.

    True, within some big American cities, a mostly) carfree life is possible if you live in a condo near a metro station.

    But walkable neighborhoods are a rarity, while they are the default in the rest of the world.

        Yes, it is, which is why it is baffling that they don’t have good high speed rail infrastructure like China, Japan, France or Germany.

        And yes, cars make sense for the rural people, but densely populated urban centers in the USA are just badly designed due to bad zoning laws.
