It's not that they were build for cars, it's that they were built for consumption. The car is just one of the key things the paradigm requires. Got a yard? Now you have to mow it. Add shrubs? Gotta trim those. Got more living space? Now you have to fill it with more stuff. Wanna buy a lawn mower and stuff, then get a car. It's why we're no longer citizens. We're merely consumers, and apparently more than happy to live up to the insulting title. Neighbors could and would connect, if they weren't so busy running like a rat in the endless wheel of consumption.
