You mean trains, bikes, and good public transit? Because those all mean less wear and tear on the roads overall. Trust an American because we've been at this for seventy years. If you guys go all in on car dependency, it's not only going to break the banks of government from local to national, but it's going to break your bank and destroy what small businesses you have left.

This guy acting like US invented cars and have divine knowledge from this experience.

Dude, Europe got 10x better public transport and are far less car dependent than the US.

Our cities are too old to be build with cars in mind.

And yet you guys are attempting to follow in our footsteps with new construction. Also the US was also too old to be built with cars in mind, we bulldozed our cities for the car (ಥ_ʖಥ)
