  I think they’re referring to how vehicle-centric planning for cities is more common (as opposed to walking or human-powered locomotion, like biking or skating)

    That’s mainly the US though. Here in the Netherlands they are planning cities with the intent to discourage car use as much as possible.

      Also Canada where the majority of experience comes from. If I could see some my taxes going towards a Euro-style infra for moving people and things I would be a much happier person overall.

        Move to Europe and you will get that change immediately

    But it’s also become less necessary as we have much improved telecommunications. I regularly work with people halfway around the world from my house.

  Ditto. But the rest of the travel we do need to do to interact with people, amenieties, and services, is still worse than it should be due to poor inter-city and city-rural transit. At least here in Canada. My time in Europe showed me how bad we really have it. Even with the unavoidable foibles that happen in the best of cases/countries.

    Yeah. The small town I used to live in had trolley service to the nearest city about 20 miles away before they tore it up for a highway.

    I solve this problem by rarely leaving my home.
