i am very rationally afraid of cars. like why the fuck would 500 billion boxes on four wheels that weigh like two tons in average become our main method of transportation

I like cars, but I do agree we have too many of them. Making them the primary mode of transportation for a large chunk of the population was definitely a mistake. The problem isn’t so much the cars themselves, but car-centric infrastructure.

I agree that we need more options of getting from point A to point B in the US. (public transport, bikes). Someone even made a paper about converting suburban areas to be more walkable http://www.marcoinfussi.it/files/scuola_politica.archivio/Sprawl_Repair_Manual_Galina_Tachieva.pdf
