I live in the middle of nowhere North west Ohio actually. I don’t exactly consider it “the country”, but it is compared to other places I’ve been. The roads make 1 mile grids and each has a dozen houses on it and a few fields and woods. Walking to town would take the better part of a day. Also, why are many modern cities built in the 18th century designed around cars if they only were invented in the later half of the century and became popular nearly half a century after that?

Because suburbs were built afterward, around the cities, like a tumor, and usually after World War II.
