Not really. You’re missing my point.
Suburban dwellers often already live “shoulder to shoulder,” but you can’t actually walk or cycle between close destinations because of the built environment being designed and optimized vehicular traffic.
I’m actually advocating for making your suburbs better and more livable. I’m trying to tell you that many rural towns don’t actually require you to take a car to every single destination. Rural towns existed before the car.
