Well this, plus also cities that are designed for cars first.

I would love to see more cities design for people/pedestrians first, with denser multi-zone areas. I wish more people could walk to a neighborhood grocery, bar, library, etc.



It seems to me there is a chicken and egg problem with (non-car) infrastructure and the demand for that infrastructure. Nobody wants to get on a train full of homeless people or a bus that's always late or a sidewalk that has no shade. There is little incentive for city leaders and planners to invest in things that nobody uses.


"Incentive" is a codeword for structural corruption, IMVHO.

It's no surprise that subsidized burning of fossil fuels "generates growth".

The growth of cancerous structures that make the average life worse.
