It seems like the existence (and requirement for) freeways and fast, pedestrian hostile roads is a self fulfilling prophecy. If we didn’t have them, people would live closer, we would have better public transport, better walking and cycling infrastructure, and we wouldn’t have a wasteful, excessive driving culture. And to many people steeped in the toxic car culture, riding a bike either means you got a DUI or you are crazy and deserve to die.
