If most people in your city live 10+ miles to your jobs, that's a fundamental city design flaw that isn't getting fixed in your lifetime. Sorry.

No doubt about that. It's less a city and more a bunch of dense suburbs piled on top of each other. Urban sprawl is a huge problem here, it is starting to fill in but it'll probably be a good 10-20 years before anything regarding decent city design starts to manifest here. I just want to free up our one car for my wife haha. She can't find good work because I've been stuck taking the car most days and my schedule isn't very conducive to sharing the car most of the time
