This can't be stressed enough. Large swaths of the US population would immediately become immobile. I think OP has never lived and worked in a rural area, say 30 miles outside of the nearest town, where survival depends on your ability to transport yourself.

Great point!

Except that the population density of the US is almost double that of Norway. (We definitely have our share of rural areas...)

The density people live at is the interesting figure.

Of course it's quite high in the US, what with the population being concentrated on the coasts.

In a way, the invention of the automobile made our lives worse. It meant grocery stores and services could be placed further and further away, stretching out areas rather than condensing them.
