Great answer. No cars means you can't leave the city on your own. Only on designated bus or train routes at the times and routes and destinations they allow.  PRISON.

Who said anything about no cars?

Land costs more the closer you go toward the downtown core.  ZOMG.  And yet poor people still choose to live there.

What does the existence of poor people in urban cores prove, exactly?

If people in the burbs wanted to walk, they'd walk. 

No, if people in the burbs wanted to walk they can't because the burbs are not designed for walking and there's no where to walk to.

They'd want little grocery stores near their house and companies would comply.  Most people don't want to bus an hour from work to the grocery store every day after work, and then carry 6 bags of groceries home by foot.  You don't even want to leave your basement.  Most couples don't both work within a 15m walk of their house.

WTF are you talking about?

Its also not efficient at all.  Many more grocery stores means big trucks driving into neighbourhoods spewing their deisel fumes everywhere dropping food off to dozens of little grocery stores.  People now just drop in for groceries on their way home from work, or drop in on the weekend on their way back from Aunt Helen's house (she lives on the other side of town...cuz she had to move closer to work).  We don't live in 1725 anymore.  How the heck do you get walkable cities but no density?  This is the most retarded thing i've ever heard.  The wonders of Maoist central planning.

Who said anything about no density? You're just totally full of stupid strawmen.
