We'll see who's right next election.
Let me know if you find a way to magically shrink our urban areas before then. Until then we can't force people to use European methods of transportation. We're better off figuring out how to make low density forms of transportation more sustainable.
Gotta work with what you've got.
EVTOLs are probably going to make a lot of these conversations redundant anyways. As soon as drivers realize they can travel by air for the same price (or less), it'll free up a lot of space on the ground for recreational activities/other uses. You can already buy a somewhat usable EVTOL for just $150K - it's a massive emerging technology that hasn't gone mainstream yet, but almost certainly will as it keeps getting better and more affordable.
Until then though I'm gonna keep driving my Explorer/whatever SUV I replace it with. But you will never convince me to ride a damn bicycle to the office. This isn't the 19th century.
