We were having a discussion about this and it seems like the more spread out cities like Jax, Phoenix, etc would be hit really hard, almost as if the car-based infrastructure is completely unsustainable.

It will definitely be the large cities with very little public transportation options.

Yeah, great point. Cities like Detroit and Indianapolis will be hit hard too, because they have terrible public transit.

Not to mention Jacksonville, Oklahoma City and Phoenix all have terrible options too.

I think most cities will be affected pretty badly, even cities with good transit still rely heavily on cars

Every city will be affected. We just don't use oil for our cars. There's other stuff we use oil for too.
