You know,
Practical reasons like that. I explained my theory about saving time if you own a car, it is a false assumption overall for most...
Those reasons may be practical at a certain level of population, but sprawl and congestion keep growing and making the automotive-consumer lifestyle more impractical the more people there are; and there are always more people. If there aren't, it leads you to wonder how the stresses of sprawl/congestion growth limits have to do with the birth and in-migration rate not exceeding the death and out-migration rate of an area.
