    Wait? Do you ever eat food? I’m guessing you do. That comes from the middle of nowhere for the most part. Certain other products too.

    If you open a history book, it’s cities that are optional. Yes, people who choose to be farmers or otherwise live outside of cities have to deal with long commutes to a city when they need something. If they were banned from even doing that, there’d just be starvation.

          Who is they? Farmers? It doesn’t matter. In developed nations less than 1% of the population are farmers. And those few don’t drive into the cities every day for work, because why would they.
