Most people live on a few islands of density in a sea of nearly empty land in the US.

- tavavex 11mo agoMost people live in cities, but the vast majority of American cities do not approach even 10% of the quality and availability of transit in NYC. That's why I said that NYC is a massive outlier among the rest of the US.
- Retric 11mo agoI don’t think the average city is a useful comparison when more people live in larger cities which tend to have better mass transit options. People live car free in a wide range of cities, it’s more convenient for more people in NYC thus the large percentage of people doing so, but the percentage is rarely zero.
