I'm very curious why US housing price is still increasing despite of US' car culture and big land area.

  public transportation sucks and traffic doesn't scale well with single occupancy vehicles - at some point spending 6 hours per day in traffic just isn't worth it

  Private cars are a horribly inefficient way to move people. A lane of traffic can move about 1500 people per hour at most (traffic at full speed, every car totally full), in real life its more like 800 people per hour. Compare that to 10,000-25,000 people per hour on a commuter train. By focusing development around cars, American cities actually decrease the practical size of the metropolitan area.

    The problem is sitting next to an idiot on the train that refuses to wear a mask.
