Cars by themselves? No. Car-centric design? Yes. The most obvious place to see this in the US is suburbs designed entirely around cars, where there's often literally nothing but cul-de-sacs and single-family homes for miles and miles and it's nigh-impossible to do anything out of the house without a car.

- crooked-v 4y agoYou can have backyards without living somewhere car-centric. Plenty of people used to, in fact, until cities went all in on banning or de facto banning new construction of townhouses and duplexes/triplexes as a way to drive out the poor and/or minorities.
