> Cars and non drivers in cities are the typical example.

Have a look at Dutch cities for how to avoid this.

I immediately thought that’s not totally fair due to the size of the Netherlands vs other countries.

I asked Mistral to do an analysis: nearly zero R^2 for car ownership vs log country area, and it’s the same with proportion of urban population in OECD countries.

Netherlands isn’t very different from peers in car ownership, they just treat cyclists very well it seems.

This is a total tangent, just found it interesting.
