    And this is what so many people seem fail to realise here. You can’t have a flawless public transport system in an area with 1 person per square mile.

    Is the suggestion here that nobody should be allowed to live in a remote location in order to remove cars from society? Or do people actually believe that a decent system exists for people with their nearest neighbours a mile away?

    Feels like the issue has been simplified to the point of absurdity sometimes. I don’t love cars but I couldn’t live without mine, even if public transport was improved to perfection in my area.

    Is this world that’s being proposed one where nobody can go camping? How do we get to places with no towns or cities? Charter a bus of our own or wait until 67 other people want to go with me? How do parents of 3+ young children manage? If you have triplets you’re making a very hard job (something simple like going shopping) 5x harder. Is this world one where food delivery is the only option for a big shop? Or are we expected to shop daily so we can carry everything home on a bus?
