Designing cities for transit is designing them properly. Designing them for only walking is a fairy tale thought up by a 12 year old with no real world experience. Look how well transit works in European and Asian cities. Vancouver is even halfway decent (tons of room to improve still).

I work in construction. Do you expect me to move next to a new project every 3 years? What about people who work on multiple projects a day?

You can’t expect people to change their housing to be right next to their work or change their work to be right next to their housing. You’re silly.

Because often people don’t show up. If an airline only sold the exact number of seats on ever plane, their tickets would be more expensive, and people wouldn’t buy them.

Do you not understand that the supply (number of planes) is constant throughout the year, while the demand (number of fliers) fluctuates? If the supply enough planes for everyone to fly at peak times there’s going to be tooons of empty seats throughout the rest of the year. They’d then need to raise everyone’s ticket prices to pay for those extra empty planes, and people just aren’t willing to pay the extra price for the convenience.

Yes, they should just pay to have extra planes sitting in a hanger all year that they only take out for high travel periods /s
