    Cities were not built around cars, they were bulldozed for the car.

    Cities were built to be walkable, and had trams for everything else. Then we invented the car and General Motors essentially took america by the balls and forced everyone in americs to become dependant on the car

      You’re whining about something that happened decades before any of us were even born.

      US cities are built around cars now and that is the only life most Americans have known their entire lives. You have to fix that problem first to get what you want.

        Im not whining about anything? I was just pointing out that saying cities were built around cars is just not true.

        Im in agreement with you that we need to make our cities walkable again by building proper walking infrastructure and public transportation in our cities. But i disagree with OP that the way to fix it is by building more streets to things lol
