    You do know that much of the US was built on the rail network and plenty of cities had transit systems that were the envy of the world until they decided against those in favor of the car and bulldozed city centers for parking? You’re making it seem like this is impossible when it used to be the standard.

      And cars are still exponentially more convenient than back then. So yea the chances of people willfully going back to that is practically impossible.

          If you think that’s just the US you are completely oblivious to the world around you.

            Not just the US. But if think the rest of the world is as disinterested in making a change as you are, you’d (thankfully) also be very wrong.
