>No, they didn’t have to do shit. Cars would have been seen as a hot new item then dropped once traffic became gridlocked and people saw the trams gliding past them.
The exess in automobiles weren't just going to go away. Personal transportation was seen as a way of giving people more flexibility, and America had a bunch of virgin land to spread out.
Why is American zoning so bad?

It's like that to go around lakes. In areas that didn't use landfill, it still creates tiers of properties. Some are zero lot line. Some are on the outside of a curve and will have a larger backyard. Some are on cul-de-sacs with enormous backyards.

Literally R*ddit-tier take. I'll take my quiet street and big yard anyday over a local grocery store being marginally closer to me

Their urban planning is centered around cars.
I dont mean to sound like a bolshevik or anything, but the Soviet Union used to plan microdistricts. Sure, they plop down apartment buildings en masse, but I'm still positive that microdistricts and urban planning centered around people and optimum walking distance is a better idea.
You shouldnt need to use a car for everything.

I think I'd rather have suburbs than Eastern European commieblocks honestly

What do you mean "need"? Cars are fun no matter what you're doing with them.

I saw who posted that and immediately clicked off. I cannot describe how much I hate that retard. He sweated profusely everytime he saw a "Froad" in Texas and took his family to Amsterdam. Good for him, but he's a retard and quite frankly not an expert on anything.
