The root cause is the hubris to think we can "centrally plan but not really" utopia with these sorts of broad brush regulatory and carrot/stick policy changes.

Suburban sprawl (though they had different words for it) was very much the "15-minute city" urban planning buzzword of its day.
As an aside sidewalks are SOP these days in all but the most rural of road projects so progress is being made.
- pjc50 4y agoYou can't not centrally plan a city. Thousands of decisions have to be made every year about roads and traffic.
- supertrope 4y agoThere's some good reforms that decrease government intervention. Legalizing apartments, duplexes, additional dwelling units, by loosening zoning. Ending mandated minimum parking requirements to let the market set the supply of parking instead of having city planning officials go off dogma or old laws. The mortgage interest tax deduction has been reduced thanks to the standard deduction exceeding itemizing in all but the most expensive states.
