Honest question. Does everyone in this instance live in a major city?
A large majority of the United States lives in a city or urban center.
Most people live in cities.
NYC here. Don't think I'd want to live anywhere else, at least not in the US.
81% of people in America do.
Not everyone, but most people live in major cities. And any city that is big enough to "justify" building stroads is absolutely big enough to justify having walkable communities connected by light rail or bus
It's not only major cities that ought to have good public transportation. Basically everything except small villages and rural communities would have all that in a sane world.
But yes, over 80% of the population of most developed countries live in a city.
im not and i don't want to, but i support the vision.
I don't, if that question really is honest. (But also not in the US)
But you really shouldn't be surprised, most people live in major cities.
Which instance?
If there's more than one, I'm going to server transfer...
Please God, I want to wake up in a walkable sustainable world without car dependency and without capitalism
All but two of my ADULT family members in New York City drive. Even though they have access to the best public transit in the country and finding a parking spot can be a chore. The rest of us (as in Americans outside of The Big Apple) are required to drive.
