Well, if you live in a democracy it's at least partially your fault that your city is like it is.

  Not if you weren’t alive and voting in the 50s and 60s when main infrastructure in most cities was laid. It isn’t a tabula rasa for each generation!

    Or, for quite a lot of Europeans on here, the 1850s and 60s

      Not really. We're talking about car-oriented infrastructure, which came about in Europe at the same time it did in the U.S. (even a bit later, if we're being honest).

    So was in the Netherlands. But infrastructure can be changed piece by piece. Rotterdam restarted as a car centric city after WWII.
