There are many places where the opposite is true. Are we just focusing on the states here? The world is pretty big and most of it is unlike the USA.


We're not focusing on the states no. I live 10km outside one of the largest Danish cities and work across town, that is not doable with public transport or biking (biking would add 10km to my commute). It becomes even less possible when my child starts daycare and I have to pick her up no later than 17:00.

It's not even that I can't take the bus, it just adds 1 hour and 45 minutes in the morning and at least 1 hour in the afternoon.

Due to Danish taxes on cars and the high starting prices on electric cars it's becomes a problem for most people.

You can't even take the train across the country in Denmark, it takes to long. If you have a meeting at 9 in Copenhagen, you have to leave Aalborg (400km away) the day before. You have to fly or drive, which will be significantly cheaper anyway.
