I wonder if anyone has looked at population homogeneity vs transit adoption? It seems reasonable that higher trust societies would be more positive towards modes of travel involving mingling with the general public, and high trust society -ness correlates with cultural (at least) homogeneity.

I think this is probably the root of the problem in the US, including the “what will happen to my home values” type sentiments. Not saying that this is “right” morally, but blaming “car culture” as if it is some isolated delusion without deeper causes is probably not accurate.

Yes, in the book 'City Comforts' by David Sucher the connection between the two is established for less dense cities. But it's a forbidden conclusion now so good luck with your wrong think.
