I'm not saying everyone needs to drive. I'm pointing out that you're saying that NO ONE _needs_ to drive. There's clearly many people who don't get to WFH or simply live in the majority of the US where public transportation is crap
> Walkable / public transit-accessible housing is far more expensive than urban sprawl housing.
Not where I live? If you search Zillow for apartments below $1000/month and center the map on Philadelphia, you'll see some in the suburbs, but overwhelmingly they're in the city.
Depends. Like sq ft to sq ft yeah, because places outside the city are bigger, but a 2 bedroom apartment in the city, once you subtract car costs, is likely cheaper than a 2 bedroom apartment in the 'burbs.
