How is this any different from the endless and dehumanizing suburban sprawl pioneered by America? Frankly, you're better off taking a train from the suburbs in London than you will be self-driving cars unless they can solve the congestion problem. The thing is, a lot of people want to live in the city, because they like to, you know, live in a city, not just work there.
- Thrymr 13y agoI guarantee there a plenty of people living in cities who would be quite happy to live elsewhere if only there were jobs there. Many of those people live in the city to avoid a long commute, not because they enjoy living in a city.
- dasil003 13y agoYes, and I guarantee you there are plenty of people in suburbs that would prefer to live inside the city if it were more affordable. What is your point?
- Thrymr 13y agoJust that what drives people to live in cities is primarily jobs, not that they prefer living in cities. I am not arguing that is universal (plenty of people do prefer to live in a city) but the main factor.
