Nothing in the built environment is, city or country... That's the nature is being an outlier

Yeah but in the countryside there’s far fewer things that are designed for humans at all, which makes me fit better there.

And scale is just one reason I’m not a city guy.

Ok, then you're not a city guy. I don't get why self-proclaimed non-city people come on topics that mostly matter for people in cities.

Because if we make cities better less countryside will be plowed under for something we both hate: Suburbs.

Just like how despite liking cars I want more mass transit because that means fewer people on the roads, making driving better for me.

Ah, sorry, I think I clocked you as one of those anti-urbanism shitheads that comes in here sometimes and says stupid shit. Never mind, we're in agreement here, carry on.👍

I wish more rural people could see this. Better transit in cities makes life better for you too! If you have to drive, having fewer cars on the road makes your drive better!
