1200/km² or 3200/sq.mi.

At first you had me thinking, there is no way 1,200/km² is very densely-populated. That's like small town where everyone has a big lawn in the front and a pool in the back kind of numbers. But then I read 3,200/sq mi and realized you flipped the units.

That said, even 1,200/km² is perfectly dense enough to allow walkability to everything if done right. But the appeal of being a farmer is too great for the average person. They want to have to get into a vehicle every time they go to do something.

Flipped the units? I've never seen density measures as km²/person! Where are you seeing density measured as area per person?

We're getting to the point where that's neither here nor there because however much they want that, people can't afford it.

That is true, but they are not going to down without a fight. Which is why we are seeing more and more "But please sir, if I can't have car, at least how about a new train? I can't be seen walking like pleb."
