Sorry, but a large percentage of people have never left their home state. The US is effectively a collection of 50 countries that formed an American Union, so it sounds like you are suggesting that EU people would have no problem walking end-to-end across all of Europe, but that we are the ones who need cars. Blaming dirt for political failures in providing better accessibility to transit seems like a pretty weird starting point for a discussion.
