Not cities in general, just american ones because they are so car centric, yet they all still somehow suck at driving and nearly kill me at every turn.
You’re suffering from a problem of perception, because the car accident fatality rate is almost universally higher in rural areas than in cities. In rural areas, people drive faster for longer distances, so when accidents happen they’re more likely to be immediately fatal. They also happen further away from other people who can assist and from competent medical care
I’m not talking about a rural area, I’m talking about a town. You don’t go high speeds inside a town regardless of the size of the town. Its not like every building is miles away from the next one. This isn’t the middle of nowhere, we have a hospital.
Your town of 15K is the literal definition of rural. What do you think rural means it not a town of 15K, and where did you get that definition?
Unfortunately, I bet the car accident fatality rate in your town is higher than most cities, but we won’t know that for sure unless you reveal where you live. Also your hospital is not able to handle traumas or other serious medical events, so you will be transported to the nearest city via ambulance or helicopter after they do their best to stabilize you, delaying your treatment by hours
You clearly have no frame of reference for the infrastructure in a town of this size. You can’t just tell me what’s in my town, I’m the one that lives here, I know what’s in it. My hospital is more than capable of handling serious injuries. It is exceedingly rare that anyone needs to travel to a city for medical care.
I suppose we have different definitions of rural, but the way you worded it sounded like you think my town is mostly empty long stretches of road with the occasional gas station. Its unclear to me exactly what you think my town is, but the speed limits here are about the same as any city, and you never have to drive very far to get anywhere in town.
I’ve been to places similar to what you think my town is, and I’m more than willing to admit their faults, but its not like that everywhere and you are clearly demonstrating your ignorance on the subject by acting like you know better than me what’s in my town.
I haven’t been to every city, but if it doesn’t have a good alternative to cars, its probably not a pleasant place to be. The reason I say american cities is because I’ve been to a lot of cities here so I have personal experience with them.
I don’t think scared is the right word but everything about driving in a city sucks. Struggling to find parking or having to pay, taking 30 min to drive 4 miles, shitty beat up roads
Why are you scared of cities?

Tons of other cities are car centric.

Ok that makes sense.

Yes, I was in Toronto over the weekend and it was hell t traveling around the city.
