It takes 14 hours to walk across the whole country at its widest point.

My point is it's unnecessary to own a car in a place that is so small. I'd have to hike for several days across windswept mountains in subzero temperatures to get to the next large(ish) town.

I 100% agree with you. I live in a City smaller than singapur and the amount of cars that clog the public transportation is infuriating. And everyone has an SUV. If everyone would even just drive a smaller car, we would have 1/3rd more space everywhere
