    I mean, do you think cars aren’t a thing in rural areas or something? You think us country bumpkins are riding our horses around?

      No, but it’s much, much easier to get rid of them in cities where they can be replaced by subways, tramways, buses, bikes, and the like.

        All of which make for a way better quality of life than car hell. If people wern’t sitting in unbearable traffic all day complaints about urban living would be far less common

        Dunno. In rural areas I know there are more bikes than in city or cars in same area. Cause you know, cars are expensive.

      There’s enough space out there it’s not an issue. Cars are a rural technology we bulldozed half the city to makebroom for and then complained about not enough parking and too much traffic

      Rural areas don’t have the same density of cars that a lot of urban areas do, so a lot of the problem of high density traffic just don’t apply.
      It’s like saying that rural areas also have people, so it’s not like urban areas have any unique people based problems.

      My grocery store is on the intersection of two five lane roads that are busy all day every day. The crosswalks are about a 20 minute walk apart.
