    some places exist though, small towns, very walkable, 'cause its small and yet dipshits still get in their car and drive 250 meters.

    we lived on the Gold Coast in Queensland Australia for a tme, had no car, my gf commuted 4 km to work on her escooter. Rented our condos 2 car spaces our to car brained dipshits who had 3 or more cars for $180 a week and that more than covered our common area fees. Mega shopping mall across the road and all sorts of health services. No HVAC needed up on the 15th story, great sea breeze and view of the ocean and occasionally dolphins, not a back fence. A McDonalds literally across the road, 10 minute return walk, people still drove.

    My laboured point ? , some of its structural but I think it starts with behavioural change and as the Overton Window then moves and new behaviors are normalized, better infra. arises and things snowball.
