Great post and excellent points. I think population size is a big factor in all of the above, too. When your entire country has fewer people than one New York City, it makes sense that so many social systems would become more manageable at that scale.
soooo jealous! England is meant to be a fairly good place for public transport, but when my partner and I went to Amsterdam this year we were SHOCKED(!!!) at the level of public transport, bikes, trams, buses, trains. We barely saw any cars and it was wonderous.
I was recently writing an article on 15-minute city concept and it seems that these cities are already there. Thanks for sharing your experience. Great read :)
