People of lemmy, would you live in a rural area? Why or why not?

          I live in a city (sf) and I’m usually walking or occasionally bus/train. Traffic rarely affects my day-to-day life.

          I think that’s the connection they’re pointing out, anyway - colored with my own experience of course.

            Even for not drivers traffic is anoying. It’s loud and takes way to much space. I like living in the city, but in the last few years I got realy anti cars. They have nothing to do in cities. If you live in rural areas ofcourse you need one, but the second there is a good public transport grid cars shouldn’t be allowed to drive there.

              Oh by no means do I disagree.

              I meant- in a practical sense, my travel is not impeded by car traffic.

      What does traffic have to do with living in the city? You don’t drive when you live in the city, the traffic is from people in the suburbs coming into the city - you’re already here there’s no reason to drive.

        That very much depends on the city. I live in Los Angeles. It’s giant, and most people have to do quite a bit of driving. My personal commute is only 15 minutes by surface streets, but almost everyone I know has to take the freeways. My doctor is 15 miles, and traffic can change that from 20 minutes into an hour and a half.
