IMPOSSIBLE…Unless the US becomes just ONE BIG CITY with no suburban areas. It’s IMPOSSIBLE for me to take any mass transit on a regular basis. Real tough to walk or bike 45 miles to work…ESPECIALLY IN SNOW.
What a skeptic!
When the US economy shifted from an agricultural-based economy to a manufacturing-based economy, there was a mass exodus from the farms to the cities. Then when the economy shifted from a manufacturing-based economy to a consumer-based economy, urban sprawl happened. So why is it impossible for the population to shift back to the cities?
When gas is $10 a gallon, you might be forced to move to a city to find a job. The jobs will go where they can be filled and the people will follow, just like during the Industrial Age.
Those who don’t study history are doomed to repeat it.
