See, hopping in a car to do everything is sort of the modus operandi in the Americas and something I absolutely can't stand. The east coast cities are spared somewhat from this by virtue of being older with more entrenched infrastructure that predates cars but west coast cities are often oriented around cars as the primary method of transportation. Vancouver is one of the better of these but it still suffers greatly from a constant flow of traffic through the downtown core.

It’s not that they were built for the car so much as they were rebuilt for it. So I don’t think the reason can be as simple as ‘because they’re older’.
