Why on earth would you compare Austin, which barely reaches city status with 900,000 people, nothing around it except farmland with European cities?

- Rapzid 3y agoThere are 2.4m people in the Austin metro area.
- refurb 3y agoOk, and what European city (greater metro area mind you) would you think is a good comparison?
- demmuborger 3y agoHelsinki? Population 1,559,558.
- usea 3y agoComparisons can be made between dissimilar things. The entire point of the comparison is that the cities are different.
- achikin 3y agoAmsterdam is comparable population wise.
- scott_w 3y agoI compare Austin because I've been to Austin, so I saw it for my own eyes. I've been to a range of European cities (especially the UK where I live) and all of them were more walkable than Austin. I'm not the only person to observe this. There's a number of Youtube channels (Not Just Bikes for one) that talk about this in great depth.
