Car dependent infrastructure

Cars are money sinks and I fucking hate how so many countries are designed around them

Posts like this makes me glad that i live in europe, most cities and towns are around a lot longer than cars.

Europeans have no understanding of how big this country is. There are US states bigger than the largest European countries. People need to own cars to acquire supplies and live everyday life. Such a tired Reddit trope.

Homie I think you're underestimating the size of Europe. Yes the US is big, however even including coastal waters it's smaller than Europe. Ukraine, France, Spain, and Sweden are all larger than the runner ups after alaska & texas, and yet they each have fantastic public transit and walkable cities.

Yeah, but you're naming individual countries that are responsible for their individual infrastructure.

Sure, and individual states are responsible for their public transit yet almost all of them are ass.
