Arden is a very car-oriented town. This is because most people - 98.4% - drive by car to work every day, and few people choose alternative modes of transportation, such as public transit, cycling, or walking. In general, car-oriented communities have a layout that emphasizes streets, highways, and ease of parking, and sometimes this can be to the detriment of human-scale priorities such as walkability alongside roads, and public spaces. For example, strip malls are something you will find in Arden.
Although Arden is a relatively small town, quite a few people get to and from work by way of taxis, often traveling to the central city in the area.
