But the question was why would "Anyone" buy a car, and almost by definition, not everyone can move out of "Impractical Big city A" into "Utopian Small City B", because then "Utopian Small City B" becomes "Impractical Big City B" :)
There simply isn't a place in North America, let alone the world, that a) Is amenable to a non-driving lifestyle, and b) has room for all the people in the world.
It is not a universally applicable advice; it is virtually by definition only doable by select few. The rest of the population will still have to deal with reality of things.
- asveikau 8y agoA good point, it is a privileged position to do this in the US especially. But the nitpicker in me would point out no one place can satisfy your criterion B, to fit 7 billion people.
- NikolaNovak 8y ago>>no one place can satisfy your criterion B, to fit 7 billion people. Fully agreed - exactly the point :-) For the foreseeable future, we'll have to live in heterogeneous environments with limited "one size fits all" , or "implementable immediately by all" solutions :-/
