    Ahh yes, the classic ‘I live in a city, so obviously everything can be dense and done by human power alone’. Except for the massive amount of people who don’t. I have incredibly few areas in the US or even Europe where no cars or no roads are needed. Can you reduce your reliance on them with a lot of changes? Sure. Can you eliminate them? No.
