Thanks for stating the obvious. Now go and look at big cities where a car is impractical and unaffordable. Guess what! People manage by using public transport.

    Yeah nobody wants to live in these big cities anymore, it’s far too busy!

      There's certainly a crowd where "I don't have to own a car or drive" is a benefit of a dense city. But does anyone ever think "I don't want to have access to a car at all"? Rich people in dense cities, even ones that don't want to drive themselves, travel by car all the time - they might not be driving themselves, though. Sometimes they travel by helicopter, which has even more externalities. You have to look at what the wealthy do in terms of understanding what people want - if someone doesn't ever have or take a car because they can't afford it, that doesn't mean they wouldn't want to.

        People probably think ‘I don’t want to pay for having access to a car’ all the time. People want to snap their fingers and be at their destination. Not surprising and not very useful to know.

      There are more places to live and work on this planet than big cities.
