That’s the point, we can’t exactly just resign a city from the ground up to work with public transit especially when it’s not being pushed for by the majority

Yes but what is the alternative? Can civilians all have their own car when 10 million live in a city? What about 30 million? 100? It stops making sense the more people you have. And on top of that suppliers and transportation services use the same road, too. It is already like flying through the death star out here with half the road being eaten by transportation companies.

The higher the density of the city, the better public transit works. You can live in Tokyo or London and get by without a car, but everyone in the world can’t live in Tokyo-dense cities.

Well with the way the birthrates are going, I think population is going to stabilize.

It is still going up just much more slowly. To say we shouldn’t worry about efficiency cause there will never be that many people disregards the benefits of unloading all of these personal costs to individuals. Vehicles are expensive on top of everything.

You know that link proves my point? It shows a steady decline in population so we’re actually going to have LESS people.
