    The more cost effective option for people is also less sustainable. They could subsidize people to live in walkable cities and invest in public infrastructure in the cities so the money can service the greatest number of people, but no. Let the market dictate people from renting apartments that they can use public transit to renting houses or apartments and having to commute via car.

      Alienation and isolation comrade. People living in livable cities form communities that risk solidarity. Whereas the suburbs and car culture breed reaction, isolationism, and have built in punishments for not slaving hard enough to keep the proles down and afraid of meeting their basic needs next week because of something as simple as a $1500 auto repair bill.
