Do you really believe that there are people that can't make their life work without making frequent 100+ mile long trips?

There indeed are here in the US, including quite a few of my family members.

That said, the people who live in such places (including the aforementioned family members) tend to be the hardy and adaptable sort, and would readily figure something out should carbon-emitting transportation become cost-prohibitive.

Even if there are, they are a vanishing minority - they're worth taking into account but not to the extent of not taking measures necessary to save everyone.
