How has the US failed urban planning?

  If you are living in US, can you walk to your nearest grocery store?

    Yes, and I used to live within walking distance to several, and this has been the case everywhere I've lived in the US. However I don't even really think of walkability to grocery stores as a good metric for urban planning - I've since moved and get groceries delivered instead. I don't need to own a car, there are fewer cars on the road doing specific tasks. Good urban planning is flexible around the reality that the physical world is hard to plan and change for.

  Countless US cities demolished their downtowns to build parking lots and countless more kicked minorities out of their homes to build highways
