    Europe is a far more dense place than America. Public transit makes sense there. The EU has an average density of 112 people per square km compared to 36 in the USA.

      It gets even better: I can just walk to the grocery store and ride my bicycle to work.

      Do the US really build neighbourhoods without stores in walking distance?

        The closest store to me is 5 miles away. And even then, it’s a gas station, not a full-on store.
