This is apparently in Columbus, Ohio – a pretty major city by any stretch of the imagination.

And yet there are people who rail (geddit?) against 15-minute cities and efficient public transit that ensures no one ever gets stuck like this.

    with vast portions of the land outside of larger cities without public transportation

    I mean, yeah? That’s the OP’s point? That too much for North America consists of poorly-designed car-centric urban planning.

      Talk to me about the public transit options - besides the one bus that runs from Kalgoorlie to Esperance - in Norseman, WA.

        I’m not sure what you mean. I didn’t hold out Australia as some bastion of urbanism. I simply reinforced OP’s point that North America is bad.

        Australia is also terrible at this. It just wasn’t relevant to mention.
