Walkable cities would be an absolute hellhole, but not for the reasons that conspiracy theorists are claiming. Packing everyone in densely enough to make everything walkable will be a hellhole.

We need affordable options for transportation. Bad weather and the cold also require enclosed vehicles that can't tip over.

    A lot of words to to express "I'm an American who doesn't even have a passport."

    Can't even imagine a walkable city, and talking about it like it's a far-off sci-fi concept, rather than a lot of peoples' actual everyday life. Yikes.
