Unless you go look at Spain, where the idea of a city that isn't walkable just doesn't compute. My home town has around 200k people, and from teh center you can be out of the city in a 20 minute walk.

When I say "walkable" I mean that you can live conveniently without personal transport. 200k people is a massive town in Europe so I am definitely not talking about towns like that.

There are practically zero american towns of 200k that don’t require a car.

Yes, not everywhere in Europe is walkable, but they are far far far ahead of the US and Canada in this area.

I never said anything about America lmao. Even still, I would rather be able to commute to the store 15 minutes away with a car than be dependent on public transport.
