The person you are replying to said they live in a city of 2.2 million people, and your response is "most people live in the city?" If 2.2 million people isn't a city, then I don't know what is. Also, 2.2 million people in 530 sqmi is 4150 people per square mile. And you consider that sparsely populated?

I consider that shitty american urban design, which after decades is finally coming to reap what they sow; It just sucks to be the collateral in it all.

But I mean really you can't expect that to move a 200lbs person you'd NEED 20x that weight in machine, thats a whole ass 95% error were getting sold

Absolutely nobody here is arguing that America has good urban design. We are arguing with the person who said we don't need cars because we can all take the subway. Most Americans, even huge car enthusiasts, would love to have more public train systems if only to lower traffic so they can drive faster. Half of the country is not willing to pay for it, though.
