Cities are designed to be spread out, which means ridiculous amount of space set aside for parking (there’s still not enough parking space). There is an entire laundry list of problems associated with car-based infrastructure, its inability to scale for high populations, and the ridiculous amount of cash required to be functional in society as a result. $20k required investment before someone can even consider hiring you because otherwise how are you going to get to a mcdonald’s 15 miles away from where anyone lives?
The whole “fuck cars” thing is a bit of an annoying meme, but there’s legitimate points to criticize how american infrastructure has been designed.
