    The US functioned before cars and it will function after them

    Cars were made a necessity, all of these things can easily change if power backed the changes.

      The US functioned before cars and it will function after them

      The US was also very different pre-car

      Cars were made a necessity, all of these things can easily change if power backed the changes.

      In and around cities, absolutely I agree. The kind of place I currently live? A hilly, rural area with little space for public rail? Even in Japan this kind of terrain is left to cars, because public transit just isn’t feasible out here

      Cars will always be essential in places like this, just a fact
