And somehow even people in the countryside had no cars. I don't see your point.

How many miles per day do you think they traveled using those?

The point is that now we have cars and we have lots of space to grow and people don’t want to huddle together, so we don’t. Furthermore, people like trees and fresh air and natural spaces. You won’t find any of that in dense urban areas. The best you can hope for is a couple of trees lining the sidewalks and a park here or there.

You can "not huddle together" without moving the necessities of daily live twenty miles away and only connect them with a six lane highway to were people live.
