The relevance is the difficulty in convincing people who live in cities designed for car traffic to stop driving and start walking. Distances are large enough to get significant push back.

There is also a social engineering aspect. Our populations and cities have been developed in a spread out fashion with services and shops established in hubs. They aren’t the villages of the early 1900s. The car was the major design influence, hence the problem.

The Aussie system was modelled on the Canadian system at the time. It works well as there is somewhere that people can go and get free medical treatment even if there often is a long wait time.

Isn’t Trump a criminal? Maybe he should be sent to El Salvador?
