America is definitely pretty deeply invested in car-centeic living. But I don’t think it’s impossible to get out of it. There’s rising pressure to lower housing costs, traffic, and improve infrastructure quality. My city (which is about as car centric as it gets) is growing fast and most of that is with infil development. It’s going to be a slow transformation but I think it will happen. I don’t think American cities will look like European or Asian cities because they won’t evolve the same way. But they will look different to how they look now.
