And since then - We have found ways to make all travel worse for comfort, more expensive, and more necessary.

more necessary

I haven’t had a commute in over a decade

Ditto. But the rest of the travel we do need to do to interact with people, amenities, and services, is still worse than it should be due to poor inter-city and city-rural transit. At least here in Canada. My time in Europe showed me how bad we really have it. Even with the unavoidable foibles that happen in the best of cases/countries.

Yeah. The small town I used to live in had trolley service to the nearest city about 20 miles away before they tore it up for a highway.

I solve this problem by rarely leaving my home.
