Most cities aren’t big enough to be bike friendly or have public transport at all, let alone good public transport (as an issue of not enough taxes to do it bc small and not enough demand for private section either).
You mean not dense enough (as in high concentration of people).
Commutes need to be short enough that bikes are a reasonable alternate mode of transportation. That means you have to get to work and shopping within 30 minutes or it isn’t feasible for most folks.
That can only work if they get rid of a lot of residential suburbs and instead build condos and apartments close to places that offer a lot of jobs. Then it’ll work out.
no I mean too low in population. it is not reasonable or feasible to make anything other than a large city bike-friendly, and suburbs are large cities in comparison to the majority of cities. also replacing real homes with apartments is a bad idea because it takes away true personal ownership of your home. you seem to be unaware that small towns exist and that a lot of people do not want to live in a big, dense, concrete slab of a city. you should leave your city sometimes and remind yourself that the people outside of it do exist.

I live in a small town of just 20k people in an apartment. It’s perfectly fine.
