Some people can, but if you tried to get a majority of the population to it’d be a disaster. You’d run out of jobs, have roads taking up a ridiculous amount of space, crippling traffic, social isolation from being unable to see others easily (already a thing in suburban and rural areas), and ecological disaster.
I think you overestimate the population of cities outside of the major ones like NYC, and the issues of less developed areas. Yeah, it’s not as efficient as cities and is ultimately killing our planet. High density housing and public transit is absolutely the best way forward. But in order for me to work towards good, I need to survive in the reality that currently exists.
All I was saying was that it’s not impossible to find a job and survive outside a city.
I’ve probably got some neurospicy shit causing it (diagnosed with ADHD, “soft” diagnosed with high functioning autism spectrum something from when I lived with a retired diagnostician for a few months, but nothing truly official): I have issues when people act like something they don’t want to do is just impossible. You refuse to do it on principal, or for other reasons, fine. But don’t say somthing so ridiculously false.

Most people have to live in cities.
