Let there please be some sanity and inclusive thinking.
You call that "inclusive" thinking?
Before WW1, in the UK 90% of the population had never been more than 10 miles from their home, food was brought to them by train, ship and horse and cart. Population was handily controlled by infant mortality at up to 60%
Excellent, couldn't think of a better utopia. At least my family would be local.
Where I live in France we get a bus, 3 week days a week, three times a day, to one of the local cities which are about 1 hour away. We have 4 Taxi's who are all tied to the ambulance service, only work on Pre booked calls and go home for the night at 6pm.
The nearest train station is 12km away and it is a branch line with severely limited service and even less on Sundays.
Our local shops are OKish but if I want anything other than cheap junk, I have to go to a city.
My family is spread from the south of England to the North of Scotland. The best option, without a personal vehicle, is to fly as that is less than half the price of the train and a good bit faster.
Never mind the fact that I have a son in Argentina with a granddaughter and a daughter in Canada with a grandson and granddaughter.
Thank you so much for your City centric "inclusive" View, but I find I have to decline.
As for sanity? Who is to say who is insane or not.
Personally I am all for workable solutions which can be applied to drag us, finally, out of the steam age and into a bright modern future. This will give us clean homes, transport and world class medical health to enjoy it with.
