Interesting insight. I had not thought of that.

Even further, rampant real estate speculation in the US ensures that a large number must live in rural areas because city properties are bought up by hedge funds etc for the express purpose of driving up the price.

The exact same thing goes for rural Europe, trust me.

Example; my municipiality has a total area of 3000km2, or 1158 sq mi), and a population of about 6300, which means a density of 2.1 per km2 or 5.4 per square mile.

Public transport is a serious option ONLY for people who go to school and therefore all have to go in at the same time. A lot of these kids do however need either a car ride to get to the bus station, or to bicycle/walk quite the distance to the stop

For a working person who doesn't live within walking distance of their job the automobile is the only real option. Quite a few people are able to use a bicycle during the warmer months, but you cant really do this when you've got a lot of equipment to carry, kids to take to school/kindergarten and so on

The bus schedules for my municipiality are seriously one bus each morning monday to friday, and one bus on the afternoon, same days. During weekends they run a bus at mid-day through the areas closer to the town, and only once.

Dont assume that Europe is one big metropol
