    Try living in rural areas anywhere in North America, there isnt the tax money to have proper transit in these locations, theres enough for handy dart systems for those physically unable to drive, but not enough for the entire populous, Cars are the only economic solution in most North American rural centers

      Rural areas are less an applicable argument against walkable city development. I’ve lived in rural Tennessee for a lot of my life, I understand; however, talking about that environment in the context of city development discussions doesn’t make sense.

        Oh, yeah, in City environments theres no excuse not to be walkable and transitable

        edit: I see I missed the word city in the paragraph that Lisa was ranting about. I thought this was a rant targetted towards ALL environments and not City Specific

      Why should any of that matter for making transport better in cities where none of this applies

      To be fair, if the rural area has a “downtown”, it could still be made to be walkable in at least that area.
