This seems so obvious to me, but maybe it’s not… sometimes I want to go somewhere that’s far away. Last weekend I went to a restaurant that was 90 minutes and two states away. Should I not be allowed to do that? If I want organic oranges, and my local grocery store doesn’t have any, should I just make do?

Most people don’t live in NYC. Transit and urban planning solutions appropriate for there is supremely unhelpful for most other places.

Allowed to? Absolutely! Required to? Terrible urban design.
