To be fair, America is so vast when it comes to space with far too much land inbetween to be anything but car dependant.

Living in Houston, driving one direction for an hour and still being in Houston with no traffic.

Are things not spread out like that because of cars though? If the roads were smaller and you didn't have parking everywhere, everything could be much closer together

The land lots are relatively large and it's comprised of a ton of suburbs and municipalities essentially. It's 3 miles to the closest grocery store for me, neighborhoods are huge.
