No one is forcing you to live in the city, but at our current population plus the current growth, it makesmore sense to have to majority of people live in cities and use public transportation. We cannot all live rurally, it’s just not doable. And isolating ourselves to everything online is not good for most people’s mental health- through we should all have a choice in that.
And if you want to continue having a “place to visit” everyone needs to take a more environmentally friendly approach to travel. Fewer roads and smaller private vehicles alongside increased public transit to wherever isn’t too remote to service.
