“Unlike the vacuum cleaner, the radio, or the bicycle, which retain their use value when everyone has one, the car, like a villa by the sea, is only desirable and useful insofar as the masses don’t have one.”pic.twitter.com/7P5iHdLMBw
While true in cities, that is false in the places where many (perhaps most) Americans live.
Urban population is over 50% of the global total. Growing to 70% within one generation. Total will be 7 billion people by 2050. US ex-urban (incl. suburban) population will be about 2 to 3 % of that. Where will capital be allocated?
Or said another way: 2.4 billion people are moving into urban areas in the next 30 years. It will dramatically change innovation, demographics and yes, mobility. Creating better cities might be the biggest opportunity to create a better world in our lifetime.
According to this, 80% of Americans in urban areas: https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2018/12/18/americans-say-theres-not-much-appeal-big-city-living-why-do-so-many-us-live-there/ …
We will shift back to more rural living as delivery and remote work become more the norm. Cities will no longer monopolize the well-paying jobs.
Expect the opposite
According to the Gallup poll cited here, 18% of Americans live in "big cities" and 21 % in "big city suburbs", and it's not hard to argue those areas share many of the same transportation issues as big cities. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2018/12/18/americans-say-theres-not-much-appeal-big-city-living-why-do-so-many-us-live-there/ …
Traffic is also bad on suburban highways but go off I guess
City livers shouldn't be forced to live as if they are rural. Cars don't belong on city streets.
