>>1391200Why do you phrase your post as though you think you've triumphantly "defeated" my point, when in fact all you're doing is supporting it?
You can take a train between a large number of small cities and towns in France. Not the case in the US unless you cherry pick like, New Brunswick and Secaucus or some bullshit like that.
Germany has an urban population of 77% and yet has significantly more bike-conscious laws and street designs, not to mention a train system that makes ours look like a joke.
Japan is an archipelago and has significant mountains intersecting its urban centers not to mention frequent strong earthquakes, hardly "better topography".
Furthermore, the 82% cited for the US represents the ENTIRE US including Alaska, Iowa, Texas, Minnesota, and other uninhabitable shit holes where only unabomber MAGA-hatted inbreds live. If you subtract those areas as any reasonable person would, we are an extremely dense country.
