Higher density living conditions results in conditions that significantly increase transmission of diseases. Mass transit won't help due to crowded conditions. Other individual transportation options like walking or cycling cannot cover the distance that a powered vehicle can and also are not desireable during low or high temperatures or significant amounts of precipitation.
- rtlfe 6y ago> walking or cycling cannot cover the distance that a powered vehicle can The whole point is that in a dense city, you don't need to cover a long distance. 75% of car trips in NYC are under 5 miles, which is an easy distance to cycle with proper infrastructure.
- iateanapple 6y ago> 75% of car trips in NYC are under 5 miles What % of people who work in NYC have a commute to work of under 5 miles?

- whatch 6y ago... all else being equal
- Fricken 6y ago>Higher density living conditions results in conditions that significantly increase transmission of diseases Oh, I guess this is why low-density Florida and Texas are doing so well with Coronavirus, and all those super-dense Asian cities are having a tough time managing it. Of course, if people are super dense between the ears disease transmission starts becoming more of a hazard. General population density evidently has little to do with it.
